Re: Heineken Cup 2021/22
The Monaco Grand Prix is also on the same weekend. That's only down the road form Marseilles, relatively.

Re: Heineken Cup 2021/22
You can vote for Player of the Year here
They made an error setting up the page as it's multi select rather thang single select, so I voted for Josh, James and Caelan. I wonder if they all actually got a vote from my entry

Re: Heineken Cup 2021/22
Same here got fed up trying different combos. So I looked at the KT option; but you can get the same flights from Aer Lingus for 780 approx.; and via eDreams for 723. All your missing is a bus/metro connection to/from airport and services of a rep?
Re: Heineken Cup 2021/22
The Aer Lingus flights are sold out now.

Uninterested is the absence of interest.

Re: Heineken Cup 2021/22
I deliberately used "disinterested" rather than "uninterested." In the context of tickets being given away to [ ] locals, I was trying (though clearly failing!) to say that the crowd would be largely made up of non-partisan day trippers. Presumably, they would have an interest in the game (given that they're there) but would not really care much about the outcome.Morf wrote: ↑May 17th, 2022, 6:48 pmPedant alert:joooooe wrote: ↑May 17th, 2022, 10:41 amLast year, with two French teams in the final, they moved the final from France to London, with the compensation being that Marseille got it this year.

They'll probably support La Rochelle just because they're French which makes them opportunistic but not disinterested.joooooe wrote: ↑May 17th, 2022, 8:33 pmI deliberately used "disinterested" rather than "uninterested."

The stewards or stadium staff are better described as disinterested as they're paid to be there. /moresemanticpedantry
Re: Heineken Cup 2021/22
Last time I was there the stewards were antagonistic and taciturn displaying very little empathy for the spirit of the game and expecting the worst in terms of soccer violence. It was not a pleasant atmosphere at all …..Morf wrote: ↑May 17th, 2022, 8:40 pmThey'll probably support La Rochelle just because they're French which makes them opportunistic but not disinterested.joooooe wrote: ↑May 17th, 2022, 8:33 pmI deliberately used "disinterested" rather than "uninterested."

Re: Heineken Cup 2021/22
Glad to see they are flexible enough to include players in the final nomination that perform exceptionally well but didn’t make the original long list (i.e. Lowe), but it does beg the question why they bother at all with the long list.D4surfer wrote:2022 EPCR European Player of the Year shortlist

Champions cup due for Dublin next year. Hopefully it will involve a defence of the title by Leinster.

Re: Heineken Cup 2021/22
The 2023 Finals were originally scheduled to be staged at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium; however, with the Premier League concluding later than usual due to the 2022 FIFA World Cup taking place in November and December, coupled with the impact of Rugby World Cup 2023 on the EPCR calendar, it was decided to select the Aviva Stadium as next season’s host venue.
McKay added: “We are very happy to continue working with Tottenham Hotspur to stage our Finals there soon. It is a sensational stadium with a burgeoning history of hosting rugby matches.
