This Season's European Fixtures
I think it was about 2 weeks ago that Radio Leicester were saying that the fixtures for the European Cup were about to be announced.
Since then there has been a stunning silence.
Does anybody know when the draws will be made so we can arrange travel to Paris, Limerick, and Glasgow ??

Re: This Season's European Fixtures
They're not now due until sometime this month - I've no idea when. I sent to a tweet to EPCR earlier this week asking if they could confirm when but so far silence.
EPCR are making the old ERC organisers look like a professional set-up. Heck even the Anglo-Welsh fixtures were released before the end of July. As usual the supporters are bottom of the list.

Re: This Season's European Fixtures
Incidentally does anyone know if Petersen and Toomou will have arrived by the time of the first fixture in November? I was under the impression that JP will arrive towards the end of September but know nothing about Matt Toomou's arrival date?

Re: This Season's European Fixtures
Some may regard it as mollycoddling but would it be asking too much to have players' names added to the spellcheck list? If that's how it works.

Re: This Season's European Fixtures
It's obviously asking too much for some people to check the players' names before they type them. Let's see how long this comment lasts before it's censored.h's dad wrote:Some may regard it as mollycoddling but would it be asking too much to have players' names added to the spellcheck list?
Moderator - how do you expect people to learn from their mistakes if they are not pointed out to them?
Re: This Season's European Fixtures
Or perhaps this isn't really worth five posts of pedantry.
Now, does anyone know when the European Champion's Cup fixtures are announced please?? Many thanks

2. I'm sure I'm not the only one with a keyboard that has keys that mysteriously swap places as I strike them.
My suggestion would still require posters to check for red lines before hitting submit. If they have colour blindness as well as dyslexia we have to develop a pictogram based solution (pictogram has a red line under it - I'm sure it's a real word).

Latest update via the Champions Cup Twitter and Facebook accounts:
"UPDATE: The European Rugby Challenge Cup & Champions Cup fixtures, dates and kick-off times will be announced later this month - approximately eight weeks before the tournament starts once the scheduling process, which includes consultation with the 40 competing clubs, league bodies and broadcast partners across each territory, has been completed."
Tournament starts on 14th October, 8 weeks before that is 19th August.

O'Gara in an Irish media interview let it slip that Racing 92 are hosting Munster in R1.
Re: This Season's European Fixtures
If that's the case, it would appear the media think our pool is between these two teams if they want the final week to be Munster v Racing at Thomond Park.neill_m wrote:O'Gara in an Irish media interview let it slip that Racing 92 are hosting Munster in R1.
Re: This Season's European Fixtures
It's poor that they still haven't sorted out the fixture the dates.
When I asked in early July the club thought they would be out by the end of July at the latest so clearly they will not be happy as forward planning re staffing; catering; etc. needs to be done in good time. Personally I am seeking the dates so that I can fit in an overseas trip without missing the first home fixture. It's not rocket science so difficult to see a reason for the delay.
