Magners league 'double headers' ish

[BR]

I was glancing through the fixtures and a couple of them caught my eye:

15/16/17 Sep Edinburgh v Ulster and Glasgow v Munster

4/5/6 May Blues v Ulster and Dragons v Connacht

Now if the timings were right we could lend some support to our provincial cousins into the bargain (or not as the case may be ).


I'm also seriously thinking of taking Castres v Wasps from Toulouse in January.

I'm planning to go to Glasgow for that weekend in September and head across to Edinburgh for our game - 2 games in a weekend, always fun!!

yeah, it'd be nice to see some Irish fans at an away Munster CL game

Sounds interesting.... how far is Castres from Toulouse?

I wasn't at the Treviso-Ulster game last season but were some Wasps fans also there because they were also playing in Italy...? I seem to remember somebody saying this...

About 75 km, it is actually nearer to Carcassonne than Toulouse
Could be an option for another drinking excuse

Wasps weren't in Italy - but some of their fans happened to be there on the pss - had a few beers with them, but they weren't as committed to the whole thing as the Celtic Warriors' supporters.

There's a bar on the train

Game on Saturday and another on Sunday afternoon would be nice then BR

.. but if it is the other way round, maybe we can persuade some Wasps fans to come to our game and support Ulster (appeal to the English tendency of hating the French...)

I must admit tho', you won't get me supporting the pests, one of my least favourite GP teams....

Who said we would be supporting the pests

those guys were MENTAL

some saints fans were at Treviso as they got fogged off from their game

Talking to a french friend; he reckons that french TV will want the ST v Ulster game on Saturday at 3pm and the CO v Wasps game would be Friday night.(of course that could all change depending on the results of the first few rounds)

No better way to start the season on 2nd sept than---

S.Africa v N.Z .. 12noon - presumably Sky on @ Rosetta?

then a big feed at say - Rosetta ? any sport on in the afternoon??

then a further drink or two , and early into R'Hill for say 6pm to fill up on Magners (surly at a special promotion price for the first game) b4 7.30pm kick off.

Get tired even thinkin bout it!!!

[HwoodMike2umate]

i c that England play Pakistan at cricket on 2nd september so that mite fill in an hour or two mid afternoon - does rosetta show cricket??

[HwoodMike2umate]

well had considered watching a game at Malone. but looked at their website & they seem to be away to Dungannon on 2nd sept. anywhere else within staggering/ one bus journey distance of Rosetta? are the 2006/7 tables on this site or Ulsterrugby cause if so i cant find them.

cheers.
