That sounds magnificent. Our pubs close way too early (although that's probably saved many of us).IanD wrote: ↑February 21st, 2021, 8:07 pmMy Sister lived in Brussels for two summers when in college. I stayed on her floor for cheap holidays. She worked in an Irish Pub called the Wild Geese. That closed at 3am. From there we went to a pub called Herman's which opened at midnight and closed at 8am. It was in the basement of a pub called La Fontaine which opened at 7am. These three pubs were about 350 yards from each other. The Wild Geese would open for lunch but in fairness I never saw it.
Best part was you passed a bakery on the way and sitting on the kerb at 6am eating fresh bread and Pain de Chocolate after a night on the lash is amazing.

Bilbao is a bit of a pain in the hole to get to with flights though.
Ryanair were running seasonal flights to Vittoria (45~ mins to Bilbao) and Aer Lingus were running pretty expensive seasonal flights direct March to October.

And best of all...... Belgian Waffles.
But whatever you into my good man, who am I to judge.
Do you wave that big flag of your's about after you've scored?
You know I'm going to lose,
And gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live FOREVER!

Re: Pro 16
That’s a few years out of date. Aer Lingus now flies to Bilbao all year and Ryanair flies to Santander about an hour away. There’s also a Ferry there from Wexford. Not all that hard to get to...
Re: Pro 16
True it is out of date.
Any assumptions that services will return to what you stated above could be quite premature too.

Lived in Belgium for year, would take Antwerp over Brussels all day. Given the incredible array of amazing beers and bars the last place I'd want to be is an Irish pub with over priced average Guinness!IanD wrote: ↑February 21st, 2021, 8:07 pmMy Sister lived in Brussels for two summers when in college.

Re: Pro 16
You'd have to look at the Welsh teams. Tiny domestic market, badly supported, only the Scarlets have been competitive in the last decade. You also have the feeling that they'd much rather be with the English but the reality is that the English don't want them. They are the DUP of rugby.

Re: Pro 16
Only if you forget that the reason for the Celtic League was to support professional rugby as a native professional entity in 3 or 4 of the 6N rather than having an exiled structure like soccer does.Flash Gordon wrote: ↑February 22nd, 2021, 12:18 pmYou'd have to look at the Welsh teams.

As long as the teams continue to provide and nurture players for the international game then they can tolerate running at a loss, if necessary.

Tournai is a nice place to visit.
Has some nice restaurants and wait for it.
It's own Irish pub in a square full of pubs.

Re: Pro 16
Anybody know if there’s a plan to play more Pro12 games if this rainbow cup dosent go ahead? I’d love to see us combine the conferences and play out the remaining games then have a final but other options could be play the inter pros and do a semi/ final set up. Anybody any thoughts?

Rumour that 4 team base is being established in Jersey for 4/6 week period. Is that for SA Provinces?

I like your right leg. A lovely leg for the role.
I've got nothing against your right leg.
The trouble is ... neither have you
