All confirmed as rumoured.

Toulouse in October would be a good trip. Would love to be able to do it. Damn child.

Agree that Bath is an odd choice for the back to backs. Wonder what the logic is there.

The flights are already pushing €200.

Presumably BT and beIN decided the Anglo-French tie was more attractive.

Carcassonne is a good option for Toulouse. By car, it's about an hour and by train, from about 45 minutes to 70 minutes.

Does anyone know if season tickets cover the game in Donnybrook this evening?

They also fly from Cork on Fridays and Mondays. I know it's a bit of a hike, but Cork airport is a nice handy airport to get in and out of.

Not if you're a pilot

Aer Lingus fly to Bordeaux, which is about 2.5 hours by motorway.

A way bigger travelling support for the tv slot would have been part of the thinking i'm sure.

Bath is a great city to visit coming up to Christmas. The Christmas market there is totes amazeyballs.

Down at Donnybrook. Standing only left, never seen it like this for a pre season.

Ballllssss, still in the office. Can I get a mate to buy a ticket and hold onto it until I get there? Can't remember what the deal is.

I'd happily get you one but not selling tickets unfortunately - just go through turnstile.

Kevski

Lowe taking a lot of shots at goal in the warm up. Maybe he’s tonight’s replacement 10

Live updates on boards if your nice

Barry Daly has bulked up.

Will Connors gets a nasty knock to the knee and has been replaced by Max Deegan.

Leinster scrum solid.

Kevski

Will Connors off after being down holding his knee. Walked off though so hopefully not too serious

Frawley goes for the corner and puts the ball out on the full!

Edit. Looks like he's done his arm, expect him to come off next break in play.

Try Newcastle.

JGP with a lovely touch finder in their 22

15 minutes 7 - 0 Newcastle. Leinster almost in, denied by no arm tackle on Byrne but no penalty.

Kevski

Frawley replaced by Tom Daly now. Seemed to injure his arm earlier and had been holding it ever since.

So Frawley has come off eventually. Probably a stinger. Tom Daly in.

Tom Daly is after getting huge.

Frawley replaced by Thomas Daly.
