URC Grand Final 2021-22 season

Post by WestDr »

Do I read it right that if Ulster finish second, get to the final and someone else has put Leinster out before the final then Ulster get to play at Ravenhill ?

In theory, yes. In practice probably not - Lansdowne Road. Although they only have 1 week to sell tickets, so you never know. I admire your optimism that someone will beat Leinster at the RDS in Quarter Final / Semi Final. In the past it has happened in playoffs, but not a common occurence.

Thank goodness they didn't take the South Africa idea forward.

I think they should play the game in the Amsterdam Arena.

Rookie error, booking something non rugby related during the rugby season :lol:

It’s the middle of the bloody summer!

The cricket season, ironically enough.

There’s a flight to Dublin first thing.

Long old season. Ulster played Glasgow in Round 1 on September 24th, final is scheduled for June 18th.

Premier sports probably insisting on a long season. Everyone cancels when the season ends.
I have my own tv channel, what have you got?

Season usually starts 1st weekend in September and finishes middle of May, so not that much longer really. Just the start put back a bit and one extra week in place for the last 16 tie.

They binned the competition prematurely last year so I cancelled my sub pretty early too.
