So not back to the year 1 matches Bulls and Stormers away? Is it Zebre / Benetton away?

OK, so that would be New Year's Eve and weekend of Jan 6 approx for the South African away games? Usually have derbies then, must be changing it.

Do you know when the game in Galway is? Would be good for a change for it not being at Christmas.

Oooh I’ve been in Cape Town at New Year before - the weather was perfect.

Should be some cricket on too.

Peak of local summer down there, surely very hot?

It was spot on for five days watching cricket, especially at a pound a pint.

I guess the coastal location keeps a lid on the temperature.

Oh no. Connacht will take advantage of us having so many more players in Ireland camp!

TG4 HQ is near Galway, so they tend to show Connacht most weeks etc.
Where their HQ is based is irrelevant. They can send a TV crew to the Kingspan when Connacht are playing. TG4 has a responsibility
People in Donegal, Cavan and Monaghan pay their TV licences just like those in Galway.
Although in view of RTE debacle I can't see too many licences being bought in the future.

Sounds like Cordero has done his knee in training at Connacht.

There are possibly more want to be Irish speakers in west Belfast than the whole of the 26 counties and if Ulster were shown on TG4 we might get a few more fans and players

But the possibility is that the camera crews are all west of the Shannon and its too far for the pony and cart to belfast.

4 Irish Provinces and both Jock sides in the top 6 after 5 games.

Both Italian sides mid table and all the Taffs in the bottom 6.

That should change ... apart from the Taffs obviously :lol:
