Whens the London Irish Munster game?

P_1

Hasn't been announced yet, they've just announced the weekends where each round will take place nothing else

Cookiemunster

Read on munsterfans.com said that the fixtures are being announced on Tuesday.

wixfjord

Aye Tuesday at 12 apparently. As I posted on LF, my favoured draw would be Sarries away first, followed by Clermont at home, then hopefully RMP will be almost out and will lose a bit of interest for the double header, and also we would have a homer to finish.

outwest

will the challenge cup be announced tomoro also,


leinster should want a home match 1st, its harder to get thru if u dont win the 1st game, sarries last away could be a dead rubber when clermont get finiched with them

Well thats what to do for my birthday sorted

Nice start for leinster -but those back to back games against Clermont in December will be huge. 4 Points from those ties would be a result IMO.

Im just praying they have a hangover season after the top14 title.

thomond2006

Awesome, I will be in Aix-en-Provence for Toulon vs Munster in January. Brilliant! :)

I´m hoping for cracking group stages for the Irish sides this year, really really tough groups for Munster and Leinster. Big opportunity for Ulster IMO.

All,

I'm an Ospreys fan living in Kildare and was hoping to get over to our first fixture in Toulon in October.

Can any of you suggest the cheapest & most direct way of getting there please?

Many thanks

just noticed this in the Irish times article:

The Irish Times wrote:

Sky Sports have chosen to show three of the Leinster matches live but the first game against Clermont in Stade Marcel Michelin has been overlooked for real-time screening, the satellite broadcaster instead electing to broadcast live London Irish’s home game against Toulon.

Wtf? I presume France 2 or Canal + will be covering it. Not even red button coverage?

B0X

Jaypers, and with all the money you'd pay for sky sports too... I think i'll be sticking to the match streams thread

Aye she be red button alright. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12946,00.html

Im trying to recall which channels on Sky the HC games are on. Is it SS2 and SS4?

Its so fecking expensive now I only want to pay for channels that I actually will use and HC would be the only reason Id pay for the sports channels.

Not much use if you get Sky through UPC though!

Indeed. Im currently with UPC and changing to Sky, both for this reason, and also because you can get BBC Wales and S4C through it, both of which will be showing Magners, and you cant get through UPC.

I guess that's why Sky are showig the match via the Red Button.

Get more customers to switch over to their full package

Can anybody answer this question above?
Also do you know if its possible to just add SS2 to your package? Ive been looking at Sky.com and I can only see the "Sports Pack" with includes SS1-4.

Just watch the matches in the boozer - cheaper than Sky, in the long run.

Luckily, her indoors works for Sky so we get it for free ... but even then, I'm usually evicted to the pub!

Nah thanks I could watch them online. But the lure of recording games on Sly+ and other matches on interactive is too much to ignore.
