I've only heard it mention on here. I'd be surprised considering the tickets have been isssued. I'm glad I'm coming back on Monday now, less to worry about

Don't really mind either - flight is booked for the Monday and I'd almost prefer the Friday night and all day Saturday to go on the lash (oops - I mean sight-seeing) and go to the game on Sunday instead of arriving on Friday eevning, going to the game on Saturday with the VERY SLIGHT possibility of spending Sunday moping around sorrowfully*

*This will never happen because we're going to win.

Can't see them changing it. Was thinking about the Biarritz game for the Sunday. Any idea how long it'd take to get there?

Wow i was just about to book my flights for 12am on the Sunday when I saw this. I cant see it being changed. TV has it sorted, tickets printed and flights booked(nearly) It would create caos if it happened

I think the rumour styarted with the comment posted in the "Translator Required" thread. It would seem that it was just a bit of French humour. He was worried that the French fans would play a few pranks on us on April 1st.

It is about a 300km drive to Biarritz.

Couldn't be that far. They are both around the Pyrennes.

Are they not holding the game in San Sebastien?

Don't know, haven't looked in a few weeks. Its an Evening Kick off though.

Any idea where St. Denis is?

Breener has said on the deadsite that there is absolutely no truth to the rumour that the game's on a Sunday.

conman · Post by **conman** » February 17th, 2006, 11:11 am

No. It's not in San Sebastien according to ERC website.

Is St. Denis not where the the Stade de France is?

Thought that. Was looking at WC fixtures last night. Our games are all over the shop. Bordeaux, Paris & Cardiff over 3 weeks. Very few other games in any city, before the knockouts.

Well with France in our group. they will be playing their home games in SdF. Find an apartment to rent in the Bordeaux area for a couple of weeks and base yourselves out of there, I'd say that would be the best option. Either that or rent a campervan and drive everywhere. It could well work out cheaper.

Neither would really work. 3 week trip for 3 games, excl the 1st 2 matches, and assuming we make the QF. No other decent games in Paris in the 2 weeks we're there. Best games will be the QF's and we'll probably be stuck in Cardiff, with the party in Marseille. Tough one.

Yep - sounds like a misunderstanding/early April Fools Joke. . . .

Am keen to head to the game on the Sunday. . .guess it may be worth having a look at transport options. . . .

Here, we had a discussion with a Turnipstani the other day here - he was saying that you couldn't call a male sheep a sheep. What do you reckon?

Rent a mini bus & driver? No point in even trying to convince someone to drive.

Kick off is at 6. Venue TBA.
