That means Stade v Munster games are now back to back. The two games are likely to be a real scrap for pool points. Tigers might do quite well out of this if Stade are having to play 3 tough games consecutively.

Everyone at Sky is furious they were told that all the rearranged games would be played at the end of January, but now 3 games have been rearranged for the weekend of 8 to 10 January by The European Rugby Union.

Why would they be furious?

Five games have been rearranged. Plus one Challenge Cup game.

Far be it from me to suggest you are attempting some bottom-covering for your false insider information.

Look. I'm not calling you a liar. It's just a lot of the stuff you post either sounds highly unlikely or turns out to be false.

Good big word usage though, I must say. The lesser-heard obstreperous. Between us we must revive it's use!!

I've just looked up the meaning of the word 'obstreperous'. Evidently it doesn't mean the inability to use an apostrophe correctly.

The shame! It's been a long day. I respect the apostrophe and support its correct use!

Sorry all.

"Everyone at Sky is furious". Well in that case they have been furious since the 27th November when the weekend of 8/9/10 Jan was confirmed. As one of the major stakeholders I would suggest they were part of the process!
