99.9% certain they locked in exact days and times for first 10 fixtures last year when announced, with weekends only committed to for the remaining fixtures.

The only gaurantee with the URC is that there is no guarantee they will follow same protocol this year.

Read on the twittersphere that we will get the fixtures for all 18 rounds, hopefully with some confirmed days/times as mentioned above.

Scarlets v Ospreys apparently in Round 1 (Sep 16-18).

That would indicate potential inter pro games on 1st weekend.

I hope so, if we get Leinster in Dublin out of the way early in the season, win or lose.

There was a Welsh derby in Round 1 last season and no other derby games etc.

URC fixtures released at 10:30am tomorrow, weekends only for all rounds with days/times/tv etc to follow next week.

My mate has notified me that he’s going to be turning up with his wife and four tickets for The Cure in December.

If we’re scheduled to play in Italy that weekend then there’s a distinct possibility he’ll find the front door key under the doormat.

Two weekends of European Cup and festive season inter pros in December I would wager.

There was a URC round on 1st weekend of December last year, played Ospreys away week before Heineken Cup started. Also a URC round on last weekend of November last season, played Leinster away.
