The sport that unites Catholic, Protestant and dissenter has had its day of days. Pity anybody who can't enjoy it. Some day.

Re: Clermont HC Away
Really envy you guys Oh well, there's always next year
Hope you all enjoy it but do be aware of the cold. Ireland isn't the tropics but long range local weather forecasts here in France have -2° to -8° with 20 kph winds that weekend. Its a bitter, dry cold as well, not the damp you get in Ireland. Possibly a bit of snow but the Auverngnats are used to it & the roads should be fine once you take it handy.
Lovely part of the country too feck it anyway .
Have fun guys

Re: Clermont HC Away
It's funny, I sometimes go to Leinster matches with a friend from Moscow. She always complains about the cold and when I say you're just back from minus whatever she says "but that's dry cold, its wet and windy here". Claims it feels colder here.
Re: Clermont HC Away
so you're saying we will think it's hot over there? relatively speaking...
I have a lot of family in Sydney. 42 degrees atm. now that's torture. you are a prisoner in your house/car. at least we can put on a coat and go out.

Re: Clermont HC Away
It appears it will be cold
It appears they will be at full strenght
It appears we will be severely outnumbered in the stade
It appears the crowd can get whipped up into a frenzy quite easily
It appears to be an awkard place to get to
It appears it will be an expensive weekend.
.......I can't wait - bring it on
And it starts for me on Friday at 6.50am

Re: Clermont HC Away
I'll be there but the match time makes it really hard to get home on Sunday evening and therefore have paid the hefty price that is the JWT package but I do get home on Sunday night which for work reasons was the big deal for me.

Re: Clermont HC Away
Myself and herself are heading to Lyon on Wednesday for 2 nights and getting the train up to Clermont Friday evening. Heading back the same way as Master Bails.
