Re: Sarries away it is then....
More lung busting as it is suited to a faster game which most AP sides don't play. The kickers had problems both off the tee and with long kicks down the pitch as ball was bouncing more and higher similar to playing a match at the end of the season in dry hard conditions. Heard from someone at it that stadium has poor atmosphere because sound goes goes up and out and the whole place had a sort of temporary feel about it, he is glad our match is in Twickers.

Sounds like they'll get a right bit of advantage out of playing on the surface on a regular basis .

Exactly - it has to be an advantage regardless of their style of play. Glad we're not playing them in a one-off knockout game after they've been training and playing on it for a couple of months.stickinout wrote:Rooster wrote:More lung busting as it is suited to a faster game which most AP sides don't play.

Curiousity - anyone know the attendance at that game?
From the rolling glens of Antrim through the hills of Donegal we will stand and shout for Ulster as we win both scrum and maul from the lovely lakes of Fermanagh tae the shores of ould Lough Gall we will scream and shout for Ulster as we beat them one and all!
