Question, do any of the PRC semifinalists have a bye week either side of it?
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Tuesday nights game at Tigers was a prime example of not promoting the game: ko too late for children to attend so great rugby watched by so few! Furthermore,hardly any of the games covered by the National press.
(Mind you the Leicester Mercury rarely reports on Friday games either yet if City play they do!! )
Poor marketing at a time when the clubs need ticket sales to be buoyant.
I would have gone to the semi if it was a Friday / Saturday or Sunday.
The issue is, unfortunately the original debate was removed by the censor finding a free weekend allowing for Europe and the premiership going into June not really poor marketing more lack of time. But why let the facts get in the way.

Having checked the premiership website I don’t think so

It was very nice, do you think it was a pre planned move or a bit of off the cuff play from the 10 to cut back to the other side?

Hopefully George and Freddie were watching and can pull it off in the final.

I would say the Irish is slightly more development but still recognise all the names.
Both sides nothing else to play for so can’t blame them.

We went fairly well loaded and won when it was the only silverware on offer under Geordy
