Yeah that sounds like a good tough way to get the season going - i presume like the Q Reds friendly last year that it wont be covered by the season ticket.

They probably won't have been sent out at that stage

The numbers don't work - 10K (hopefully) into 7K does not go.

Donnybrook is bigger than 7k these days with the new stand isn't it?

Should be a good game and they are also in our pool for the Heineken Cup!

Nope. New stand doesn't hold anymore than the old one.

Fupp it anyway, doubt I'll make it before heading off from these delightful shores. Was hoping to get one last Leinster game in beforehand too! The branch should look into putting temporary seating on the tennis courts for these games. They put them in for the Michael Bublé gig last summer so it's possible and would add a sh1teload to Donnybrook's capacity. Difficulty would be getting permission from Bective tennis club but if they were willing it'd be so much better for these types of games.

Rumour has it that there will be two pre-season friendlies the week before the week of this fixture in Nice

What was that all about? I didn't like it so assume they will never consider it again as a result

Funniest bit in that game was Jamie squeezed in to Darce's 12 jersey - what was that about?
