Exeter v Sorries would be tasty.

Think the Champions Cup qf’s are always split 2x2 on the Sat/Sun with Friday reserved for the Parker Pen.

Not always, IIRC.

You're right, but it's been a few years now

In terms of selection I’d say Dan will be pretty happy with what he has available. Carter is the only player I feel who would have made the starting xv who is injured. Hume, Lowry and (in particular) Lyttle may have made cases had they been fit all season and had more gametime, but Lowry’s opportunities to press for the 10 shirt may have been limited and Luke Marshall and Baloucoune have been really good this season so would have been tough for Lyttle and Hume anyway. I feel like in Hume’s case, this was the kind of game where you would want Luke Marshall’s aggressive defence and experience.
Our bench depth is improving. although hooker, tighthead amd half backs remain a bit of a concern for me, if the front line players have to go off early. ToT and hopefully McBurney will develop in due course and would like to see one of Bill J, Curits or Lowry really challenging Burns for the 10 shirt. Back up 9 still a glaring weakness despite Shanners efforts.

Yep although Louis would probably have been nearer to the squad in terms of the backs.
We will be fielding a team that’s more than capable of beating a mid-table Top 14 side.
I may even join HWM in invading the pitch when we win.

So what are various peoples chances of getting to the game?
We're about 36 stone down already. Greve is better than the Atkins!

Ha ha.
Just got an email about my 2nd attempt to get out of Paris.
It doesn’t say “malheuresement” like the previous email so hopefully it’s OK.
I’ve still got a nasty feeling we’ll end up watching Munster instead!

Aye, our London contingent just gave up after their 2nd booking was also cancelled. Apart from them, we're avoiding SNCF. A lot will depend on the air traffic controllers. Anybody know when the team is/was due to fly?
Re: ASM Clermont Auvergne Vs Ulster Sat 11th Jan @ 1.00pm BT Sport 3
Team flying out of Aldergrove at 1:45pm on Friday.

We've got Nigel for this one haven't we?
