So who do we fancy?
I'm hoping for Northampton and while a french trip seems unlikely, I'd be tempted by the relative simplicity of Paris.

Northampton in the pool back in 2011/12 was a great trip, managed to get into the working mans club en route to the stadium.... some craic

The MK QF trip to Northampton was a cracker too. Only Heineken trip where I've had to buy sun cream, and that includes one of the Biarritz trips where I spent several hours lying on the beach.

Re: Heineken Cup 2021/22
Well we avoid you this year in the early rounds, good luck, might even try to get to Galway, never been there before.
Re: Heineken Cup 2021/22
If you can make it to Galway I'd highly recommend TB - I would say it would be everyone's favourite away inter pro. Great food, pubs and live music.tigerburnie wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 2:27 pm Well we avoid you this year in the early rounds, good luck, might even try to get to Galway, never been there before.
Can personally highly recommend the Galway Hooker!

Re: Heineken Cup 2021/22
Format not agreed yet, English mucking it up with no relegation. There were 14 sides last year in Challenge Cup pool, with Saracens coming up - now there is 15, need to find presumably a 16th side for 21/22 season to have even number of sides etc.

Re: Heineken Cup 2021/22
I guess the covid situation will dictate, depends on the dates as well, now if they'd play in the summer I could have brought some fishing kit with me as well lol.
