Soon

Must be even more imminent now.

I’ve worked out how to deal with the situation in the meantime.

Don’t think I really need to go to Glasgow again so that flight money is going on a one way ticket to Venice for the Benetton game.

Hopefully, someone from the EPCR (or Neill) will let me know what day to turn up in La Rochelle as I make my way from the Adriatic to the Bay of Biscay.

Dunno how yet, although an episode of Blackadder II springs to mind.

Next week will have confirmed details for the clubs according to JP on the twittersphere with an announcement to punters to follow.

As and when fellas, as and when.

Never been to Lyon so I think I’ll head there from Treviso.

Word of others flying to lovely Ljubljana (where I saw REM and had breakfast with Mike Mills. Well, we used the same buffet).

So has been 3 months since the draw, and they confirmed the fixtures minus day/time within 3 weeks, now only just over 2 months till round 1. What are they doing in Switzerland?

Banking their bonuses perhaps

As I'm sure Grumpy will confirm, it's closer to 14 months before this kicks off.! Plenty of time.

Off topic - you think the Swiss are trying to decide if Lions and Treviso should get 5 points walk overs or just 4?

No, won't confirm that at all.

Will they be geo-blocked?

I notice there aren’t too many Ulster matches there. Cnuts.

Who knows, ITV may show same game in UK. They have taken over the UK rights. Same package - 1 game/round.

There were no Ulster Heineken games on Irish FreeTo Air tv when Virgin Media had the deal.
