They are, £28 return. Leave Europa at 1pm, back up at 8pm. Dropped off in area near ground.

170 seats remaining. Not a bad option seeing as the train is redundant for the weekend.

Unsure how easy it is to find parking in Dublin etc. Can't park on the Northside at Malahide etc. No DART north of Connolly.

No jolly for the Welsh lads in the SH after all!

Games still set for Europe.

Read that. Zebre get to play away games in Italy😂 To be fair they need every advantage going, not a good team.

As a neutral I really enjoyed the Edinburgh v Stormers game.
Really great pace and the collisions were fierce.

SA teams improved this round big time.
With Lions & Sharks at home it will be great to see Ruan back again but by 2022 I will be behind the sofa for the away games to Stormers & the Bulls.
They should be well settled into the league by then.

Now to see if Munster get turned over by Scarlets at 2pm.

Really enjoyed the Edinburgh Stormers game also, Edinburghs new stadium set a good game atmosphere.

As for the Saffer teams, its a tough assignment coming here for the first time, they'll definately be stronger with experience next time around, which is excting. The fact that they are winning games already (minus their internationals) is scary. To flip it, I don't expect the Northern Hemisphere teams to fair well when they head South.

Munster looking very impressive here away to Scarlets, try bonus point secured just after half time.
Dwayne Peels side look poor against a Munster team missing many perceived first choice.

Ben Healys hair would compliment Doaks nicely at half back in an Ireland jersey.

Snyman off injured, looks like his knee.

Commentator thinks its the other knee to the one he had been out with for so long.

Munster were good but Scarlets were poor, looked like a team that met before the game.
Crabbing across the pitch and just shovelling the ball on.

Munster on the other hand well drilled, dynamic and hungry for it.
Looking forward to seeing what happens against Connacht and that will be a better gauge of we’re they’re at.

Indeed, there definitely bringing a new level of physicality to the league.

Is it only me thinking that pricing the South African games as category A seems a bit ambitious/greedy. The only game I’ll miss this side of Christmas but don’t mind one bit having saw the prices. I’m not yet a season ticket holder I’ll add.

That is taking the pîss. Has anyone asked Petrie to explain it?
Can I come out from behind the sofa yet?
