maybe posted already, however I have lost the will to read everyones prescriptions !!!

I am interested in what ground the match will be played, not anyones mix of drugs and alcohol, no offence for all those who wish to share their medication!

To be fair to Sarries, and given the current state of Ravers, would we have been in a position to anounce a venue immediately?

[scottish_knight]

Ans: yes, the Aviva is free that weekend!

We'd have been pushing for Ravers though - same as Sarries are pushing for the AzP.

Twickers is also free.

NOT necessarily!

Branch bean counters would have been having a serious look at the possible income from Aviva with a view to playing it there.

I would say the contractor building the stands might have had a bigger influence!

Was talking to big Shane last week in Castres and when we put it to him about the possibility of staging a q/final at Ravenhill he said the hope was to have both base structures in place to be able to take temporary seating but ultimately that it would need the blessing of the ERC.

Anyway...the only drug needed here is some marching powder for big Merv.

Likewise, but he added to me that even if Ravers was doable, they may still take it to the Aviva anyway.

Tis all academic now though

I thought we decided to stop listening to Horgan ...

Looking forward to this game more and more. Not so much as last year versus Munster, and last year I was mildly excited by the 6Ns.

Roll on the 'spreys game 'til we seem some proper rugger. Or the France games, quite excited to watch them this year

Pics of AzP. Reports are good. Some complaints about how far into the stand the rain reaches. And some concern on the amount if trains. I thought there'd be less running track at the sides, and the in goal looks incredibly small.

Bit of the RDS about.

[Redhandoff]

How big was the crowd..........seem to be loads of empty seats

In fairness I think it was a 3500 test run.

Sunday service trains was 2 an hour ! Not sure if Saturday is any more frequent.
Anyway let's go have a party in the bottom tier of Twickers

Oh aye nearly forgot, if it is at lego park then I look forward to the shove Big Bad John and Angry TC get on and Gilroy, Angry Andy and Payne will just love it anyway, they might not have the advantage they think except for ball bounce from kicks but there are several pitches promised here for training if required.
