Got to be Aviva. I was dubious about the Clermont match being held there as thought it'd end up being half empty, but seeing the job the marketing team did to pretty much fill it the week before Christmas I can see a sellout for a qtr final in spring.

Benefit fraud, you say. Hmmmmmmm "Chop chop, dig dig" Yeah but they (polygynists) generally have really unattractive "wives" - see Martin Cahill for example. They totally glamourised that aspect of his life in the films. I'm told the dole etc. are pretty good here but I don't kn...

i think they should call it quits if they don't make it to the amilin. bring in as many of the young lads as possible and give them as many mins as possible. they have probably done enough already to make it to the ML play offs, if they win some of the games against weaker opposition. i would put o...
