British & Irish Cup semi-finals, April 6-8

Semi-final 1: Leinster 'A' v Munster 'A'
Semi-final 2: Cross Keys V Cornish Pirates
That's good. That's another game to look forward to. Thanks for the heads up DB. Lazy net surfing on my behalf!
Sat ko at 1 would be sweet. Then to the pub for the Edinburgh Toulouse game then off to the main event
No worries Hornet.

Yeah Scott, that would be sweet alright but I've a feeling it will a Friday night KO this time. A Sunday KO would clash with the Munster-Ulster match.

Just remembered the Friday is Good Friday. No booze but would be something to do and might attract a bigger crowd actually.

Friday or Monday are the likeliest days given the other games on the Saturday and Sunday.

No chance that this game is free in for STH?

Hopefully, but as it's a knock-out game they might charge in. Hopefully it's free to get as big a crowd as possible in.

They should get the morketshing crew onto this. I know it's not the senior team, but it's a big game, I reckon you could pack Donnybrook for it. I'd say they'll be pretty strong lineups too. Really looking forward to this match.

Hopefully they do market it right. The Donnybrook quarter was pretty good attendance wise. I'd love to see most of the RDS packed. They should do something for STHs, like fiver in and fiver for your mates ticket too etc., etc. It'll hard to fill the place on Good Friday...

Actually the more I think about this, they probably will insist on tickets for this, just in case they get too big a crowd coming, what with nothing else to do on Good Friday. Hopefully it'll be only a tenner or something.

Don't bank on it. Once there's a public game they won't be opening their bar. Too much hassle. Anyway, Good Friday is the biggest night of the year for house parties.

Word on boards that this game is being played in the RDS...any truth to this? I hope not, been a long long time since I got to spend a Friday night in donnybrook. Either way I'd say there'll be a massive crowd, I'd say it'd fill Donnybrook.

Should be played before the QF at Lansdowne, GAA style.
