We need to make sure Montoya gets some proper rest periods, the other SH players maybe less so, but will still need some management.
Would hope we prioritise the home Euro games, it wouldn't be the worse thing to loose the unbeaten record this Saturday.

We decided not to go as well - and even canceled our Xmas trip to Cyprus - credit to Easyjet holidays - full refund as a credit towards a future holiday and we have already spent it and booked to go in May. We sent our hotel the tickets as we had booked direct with them and they were brilliant. Very helpful regarding where we could get tested if we decided to go.

British Rail basically wont help, no credit, but will let me rebook a future date, but got to pay for changing. :smt017

What about poor Scarlets? Might have to postpone their game against Bristol and take a 28-0 loss!

It would now appear that passengers to Ireland (including Great Britain) will be asked to show a negative test for Covid-19.

1-if you do not have proof of vaccination or recovery, you will have to show a negative RT-PCR test which was carried out no more than 72 hours before you arrive in Ireland
2-if you have proof of vaccination or recovery from Covid-19, you can show a negative antigen test which was carried out no more than 48 hours before you arrive in Ireland
3-Alternatively, you can show a negative RT-PCR test which was carried out no more than 72 hours before you arrive

Only Rapid Antigen Tests which are listed on the common EU Rapid Antigen Test list will be accepted and it must be carried out by a health professional or skilled testing personnel – you can’t test yourself.

The return to England is less of an issue as there are no restrictions on travel into England from the rest of the Common Travel Area, which includes the Republic of Ireland.
You do not need to complete a Passenger Locator Form; take any Covid-19 tests or quarantine on arrival, but do not travel if you have Covid-19 symptoms or are self-isolating.

The away trip to Connacht seems to be less problematic, assuming that these requirements do not change

Probably have 2 spare tickets as friends are not travelling, pm if you have any outlet for them.

Many thanks Robes......
Ok, I’ll let it be known that you’ve got two. I’ve already got mine.
Hi - Not sure if this makes any sense but I have 4 tickets for the Bordeaux game and we cannot now travel due to COVID changes. So I have 4 free tickets in Block 11 to give away if anyone is interested. PM me for details and I can email the PDF tickets....

Matthieu Jalibert won't be fit to play for at least two weeks. Also, No8 Diaby and French international 2nd row Cazeaux will be out for six weeks and two months respectively.
However, don't start celebrating just yet, as François Trinh-Duc (66 French caps) will surely replace Jalibert. Ok, he's 35 and not the player he used to be, but is vastly experienced. And I'm sure that more than able replacements will stand in for Diaby and Cazeaux.

Also, Monsieur Météo (the weatherman) has changed his mind with his forecast!
