sold out

Not a bad first stab for them, they have clearly been marketing the crap on it so the smaller ground may work very well for them

Had just decided to go along.

I suppose that is the hope. Once you get sellouts people commit in advance rather than miss out. Lot easier to get people along if they buy tickets in advance rather than if it is raining and there is the choice of the pub

If your close you could hang about, u usually get a few people with tickets that their mate wanted and then decided to stay in the pub

4th try, that's three from a rolling maul and one intercept from kinghorn.

that last try was probably not a rolling maul. I am getting confused by her multiple feeds. Anyway 28-0 HT

I'm on about Bennet, assuming you thought I meant Russell. Though I don't know if he's a massive fan or he just happened to be at Clermont at the same time.

No, Weir. As that was the player mentioned in the post before last.

IT puts the Russell > Montpellier rumours to bed anyway!

So Edinburgh have chosen to play the QF at Murrayfield instead. Not sure about that one - are they really going to break the attendance by so much that the incremental revenue is worthwhile? A home QF is a chance to intimidate the opposition. Murrayfield never offers that unless its an international.

Haha, intimidate.

The only thing our fan base has intimidated is a prawn sandwich... and that one pheasant, back in the 80's when it wasn't looking.

A polite round of applause, is a polite round of applause.

I see your point though, sure, they've just spent ages telling us how great the new home is.
