I saw some people on Twitter volunteering to be navigator for the Tigers kitman who's driving a van over...Pmvl wrote: ↑Sun Apr 02, 2023 8:59 am This is where the club should step in, I’m certain they will be chartering a flight & if they want their supporters ( family) there they should open it up to them, they used to do it years ago. As has been mentioned on this thread with it being Easter the flights & accommodation costs are ridiculous plus we’ve only got 6 days to try & sort it out.

Re: Leinster away travel
We certainly have been dealt a bit of a bum wrap.
Would have been different travelling to South Africa or France I honestly don’t know.
The issue may be that as far as I’m aware these dates have been blocked out in the fixture list certainly since Christmas if not the start of the season. With 4 pool games to be played plus the round of 16 not even Septic Peg could have foreseen who would be playing where

No she wouldn't but anyone with half a brain should have realised there would be some awkward travelling involved by one team or another, very unfair organisation.Rugbygramps wrote: ↑Sun Apr 02, 2023 10:13 am We certainly have been dealt a bit of a bum wrap.

I agree but it’s that age old thing of getting 7 or 8 different unions to agree.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Sun Apr 02, 2023 7:46 pmNot agree to consecutive weeks for different knockout rounds...Rugbygramps wrote: ↑Sun Apr 02, 2023 6:49 pmPlaying Devils Advocate, how do you plan if you don’t know what’s going to happen in fixtures involving clubs from 6 different countries
It’s a poor situation and as per usual it’s the travelling fans that bear the brunt.
Re: Leinster away travel
Like I said on the other tread, play domestic leagues next week and Cup following week. Yes still some problems but much more local.Rugbygramps wrote: ↑Sun Apr 02, 2023 7:55 pmI agree but it’s that age old thing of getting 7 or 8 different unions to agree.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Sun Apr 02, 2023 7:46 pmNot agree to consecutive weeks for different knockout rounds...Rugbygramps wrote: ↑Sun Apr 02, 2023 6:49 pm

Re: Leinster away travel
The reason they don't (wrongly IMO) is the URC ensure you have two consecutive weeks in SA for any teams playing their away fixtures there, meaning they insist on two weeks blocks for their domestic games, which screw us overLE18 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 02, 2023 10:38 pmLike I said on the other tread, play domestic leagues next week and Cup following week.
