    Match tickets booked. Now, how the hell do we get there..

    Only made the semi last season due to a buddy who was willing and able to "drive" from Barcelona <-> Montpellier at approx. 516mph* with five of us crammed into the car. He's not going this year so..

    * exaggerating, for comic effect.

    Going cork -london-nice and back the same route, making a long weekend of it

    Nice is definitely the best option. Would love to, but it's looking more likely to be a day-trip. (Which I hate. If we lose, it's a loong day of travelling. If we win, you really, really want to stay. And that's if there's no delays and you actually get to see the game!)

    Flying to Rodez (3hours away) -> Hiring a Car -> Staying in a Formule 1 Hotel (€24 for the room, 3 of us in the room) -> Driving to Carcasonne after the match (3 hours) -> Staying in a Fomule 1 Hotel (€19, 3 of us in the room) -> Driving to Biarritz (3 hours) on Monday and flying out at 17:30.

    All in about €130 per-person Flights/Accom/Car Hire

    Now just need tickets.

    Glorified Hostel. Cheap as chips. A bed a sink and a TV. Jacks and Showers are down the hall.

    Still very clean and at €24 for the room you cannot complain.

    Craig Burden and David Smith are not included in Toulon's squad travelling to Bordeaux Begles. Wilkinson is injured. The lineup will be named tomorrow, I think it's time for Bryan Habana to finally get a run! Toulon lost 41-0 at the Chaban-Delmas last year (same ground that held Clermont-Leinster 2012).

    Man I love these threads. Over in Oz at the moment but used to love the scramble to get tickets and flights for the munster games and taking all sorts of ridiculous routes.
    For the 2008 final I remember flying to manchester, renting a car and driving to cardiff, and sleeping in the boot of a car in some rugby club in cardiff. Top Bants!

    Robbing effers. Pay a surcharge and you can't even select your seat.

    The MRSC membership pays for itself by avoiding that monopoly's BS.

    It's worth it! A lot of the money raised goes to the academy as well. I'd rather give €30 to the academy than a cent to Ticketmaster.

    3 x €50 tickets through MRSC is €152.50 (€2.50 transaction fee added to total).

    3 x €50 tickets through Ticketmaster is €164.85 (€4.95 fee per ticket added to total).

    I assume all the people giving out about Toulouse allowing people to buy up to 20 tickets for the QF will now be apoplectic with rage that Munster fans can buy up to 50 tickets for the semi.

    Let's see.

    FYI;

    After a coin-toss, Toulon will wear red and Munster will wear their blue "away" jersey.

    Munster get the "home" dressing room but since it's a neutral venue I'm not sure what difference it makes.

    I knew Boudjellal & Toulon had money on their side, and there's the proof!

    I wouldn't worry about Paulie, he's obviously saving The Stare for his chats with the ref on match-day.
