Flight home from Liverpool tomorrow afternoon - tick!
Flying with EasyJet - minus!
SwissPort baggage handlers no longer on strike - tick!
Storm Barbara windier than my dog on Brussell Sprouts - minus!

Could still go either way.... >happyparty :banghead: >happyparty

Good wise decision, win the game you've a good chance of winning and keep your bumper Christmas crowd happy. I'll settle for that.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

With an eight-day turnaround? Nah, we're not sending an A team to Dublin.
You haven't seen me at my best yet. Let's be honest, you probably never will.

Jackson will surely play in the RDS, there is no way we will go down there with Herron at 10.

I suspect we'll send a very similar team, just doing some rotation in the few positions we actually have some depth. And at 9, probably.

Whereas the backrow now looks depressing again. Marcell must be itching to get started.
I have my own tv channel, what have you got?

For the record whilst tomorrow will be Trevor Brennan Day 3625, it will also be DAY 20,492 (if my maths is correct) since the last win by Connacht against Ulster at Ravenhill in 1960. Worthy of a poster or two? Can someone work out when Trevor Brennan Day 20,492 will be ? Unfortunately I think I'll probably be dead :(

Schoolboy error HWM, the 1960 date is erroneous I believe. The FIRFU record shows that Connacht were a serious pain in the hole in the early 60s.

Furthermore unless you can produce evidence that either the record is incorrect or that neither Connacht wins in 1963 & 64 were in Galway I shall consider you an uneducated buffoon, in so far as interpro rugby is concerned.
1960–61 Connacht 6-3
1961–62 Ulster 11-0
1962–63 Ulster 19-6
1963–64 Connacht 13-3
1964–65 Connacht 13-3
1965–66 draw 3-3
You appear to be out by several hundred days. :roll:

Jacko won't be playing unless it's IRFU orders as his total minutes must be adding up, also there are 2 SDC matches in January so I reckon if he plays next week then he will miss the following week which should be preparation for Exeter
