Blimey. You’re keen. Plenty of time to acquaint yourself with Joseph Holt’s full range of ale.

I’ll make sure I pack my thermals.

It’s cold here as well.

Here as in the Ravenhill micro climate? Bryn?

Any fleggers advised not to watch.

I will legitimately start a culture war over being represented by ASDA irish stew from a tin. I hope they show the lads that before the game. It will put the fire in their belly. (Not literally).

I couldn't even watch all of it. Painful from the start

Booked the flights and hotel before the date was announced. Helps being of a certain age with no work responsibilities.

Despite living in NI for nearly 40 years, I still talk proper.

Noticed that ERFC tweeted on Wednesday that their pitches were frozen.

Need a big game from Hume, Lowry, Stockdale and Doak. Burns has done OK so far this season- IMHO.

Thats on helluva Sale pack, this could be a brutal match. an LBP would be a decent result in fairness

[justinr73]

Adam McKendry will be relieved.

He thought Raffi Quirke was going to be their biggest threat (despite the broken wrist….)

[thecrouch]

Honestly hard to see us picking up a win here.

Don’t worry everyone.

I’ll take it off him when he’s asleep on the flight over.
