Looks to be the RDS, but ulster appealing decision. I would say the French are very reluctant to play in Belfast.
Any French fans who have paid for flights and accomodation in Belfast will not be impressed.
Over the years I've come across lots of French who think the most convenient airport for Ulster matches is Dublin and many fly in there anyway, so just hotels to moan about if it's at OurDS.
I'm not arguing -
I'm just explaining why I'm right

Tommy from Comber will be in a right state about the eprogramme
Volunteer at an animal sanctuary; it will fill you with joy , despair, but most of all love, unconditional love of the animals.

If it's a Ryanair flight, they'll probably land at Shannon

He can have no complaints, he's not even called Tommy.

We can but hope.
My daughter flew in to Dublin (From Milan Bergamo) with Ryanair last weekend - only about 3 hours late.

Twitter: Ulster Rugby CEO Jonny Petrie says they remain hopeful that Saturday’s match against La Rochelle will go ahead at Kingspan Stadium.
Ground staff will continue using frost covers and on-pitch heaters tonight and tomorrow in a bid for it to be playable.

Sack it off, drop into the Parker and try and win that.
Apropos of nothing in particular a fine cup competition is suffering death by a thousand cuts.
