Any idea why they've not gone back to the groups of 4 format ?

English and French don't want more games to interfere with league I suspect.WestDr wrote:Any idea why they've not gone back to the groups of 4 format ?

The knockout games, including the 2 legged ones it has to be said, have provided a fair measure of entertainment this year.
Volunteer at an animal sanctuary; it will fill you with joy , despair, but most of all love, unconditional love of the animals.

Seems the 2023 final will be at the Spurs Stadium which already hosts NFL games as well as Premier League.

I think it’s more about them leaving some kind of room for an additional NH/SH showdown comp, alongside a co-ordinated calendar.jean valjean wrote: ↑Tue May 10, 2022 3:00 pmEnglish and French don't want more games to interfere with league I suspect.WestDr wrote:Any idea why they've not gone back to the groups of 4 format ?

Re: Heineken Cup / Challenge Cup Dates 2022/23
So then this will be aligned with the URC not having any matches during the Autumn Internationals and 6N, as was supposed to happen this season but COVID scuppered it ? Who'd be a Leinster 23rd to 42th ranked squad player then ?
Tbh, was hoping for another match for the 2022-23 season ticket....

There will be URC games in the 6N window, but none clashing with actual weekends in theory as they were used to mop up COVID games this year.WestDr wrote: ↑Tue May 10, 2022 4:24 pm So then this will be aligned with the URC not having any matches during the Autumn Internationals and 6N, as was supposed to happen this season but COVID scuppered it ?
