Surely the point of the pre-season matches is to address things like this?

Yeah, I'm not talking about pre-season.

Aside from the obvious reasons, one of the reason I love rewatching that game is the camera work is sensational on it. They use the side rail cameras so much, the pace of the game just seems frantic, and you feel close to the action. If rugby games were action movies this it'd be up for an oscar.

I'm not much of a holiday person. I'd as easily do a week or two at home doing nothing. If I was going away it would be to somewhere I really want to go, but the finances won't allow so we're stuck with a trip to somewhere cheap in Europe. Which in itself is limiting.

I've rewatched it so many times, and I still can't believe we won.

To this day, I still think that was the drunkest I've ever been.

I suppose I was saying that I'd expect him to get rid of the rust and doubts in pre-season and be ready to go come the start of the actual competitive season. Maybe he won't be ready but I don't think that you can confidently say that before the pre-season matches.

One day like this a year would see me right...

I don't know how people could get drunk there, no offence to any Welshies but there wasn't one bar in Cardiff that could deal with crowds. That's one advantage of our clichéd drinking culture... it's not that clichéd at all! A single barman here can serve a bar that's 4 deep without breaking a sweat. They know how to put on multiple drinks... I was amazed in every bar in Cardiff they would pour one pint at a time as they were ordered... Madness Ted. Think I ended up having 4 or 5 pints over the whole day.

Yeah the day itself was a bit of a pain in the hole from a drinking pov. Luckily I did all my drinking for the weekend the night before. As Sergio Parrisse can attest to, having been on the receiving end of pint spillage from yours truly. Not my best moment. It was insult to the Amlin result injury.

I was gee eyed by the time I left the stadium. Me and a friend got 6 beers between us at half time to help us through the second half misery. Worked out well.

So:

Wasps (h)
Bath (a)
Toulon (a)
Toulon (h)
Bath (h)
Wasps (a)

We play Wasps at home on a Sunday, and Toulon away on a Sunday.

Doesn't bother me either way but makes it difficult for travelling fans.

Interesting that Sky are only showing our Toulon games... a sign of where we stand on the who-to-watch table.

ffs. Why are Toulon games always on a Sunday. Wipes out my chance of going.

They are the opposite of Ulster. They play on Sundays and they win tournaments.
