just booked the 1/4s flight to Cardiff for €120 return on Aer Aran. I know it might not happen but it might, and it might be played in Cardiff.

I think I will have to drive across. If it is a home qf we will hav to have flags and banners.

Interesting schedule, handy for BO that they will be last in, knowing
whether a win gets them a game against the weakest qualifiers or would
a last minute injury to yachvilli be handy.

Handy for us too, awkward on Leinster, but seeing as its glaws
preferred game time its not shocking. Leinster should be qualified.
Interestingly though its quite possible that a number of teams could
end up on 19 points, with the try count being crucial

[Skyhawk]

If we do get a home QF, I wouldn't be surprised if it was played in LR.

[scotscor]

my money would be on CP.

[Point]

If we do get a home QF, I wouldn't be surprised if it was played in LR.


I would bet a large sum that it wouldn't be. That is the whole reason the FAI and IRFU are using CP i.e. that LR is unavailable. They aren't going to open that can of worms when they know that us Munster eejits will travel to outer Romania to watch Munster play.

I think I will have to drive across. If it is a home qf we will hav to have flags and banners.



Any chance of a lift? smileys/wink.gif
