Onward and upward. What's next?

Trojan

Disappointing season, but time to move on from those results. What have we got to give us our rugby fix from now til Autumn?

- Connacht 2nd leg (don't get your hopes up, Sale's a hard place to go, especially 7 in arrears).

- AIL (somewhat less interesting)

- CL/CC (hmm)

- ERC final stages (as neutrals)

- Super 12s (I don't have Sky which means I miss this, never have really gotten into it).

- Super League (if you're not union only fan)

- Lions tour!

Anything I've missed?

Sorry to tell you Trojan but I think you'll be missing the Lions tour as well without Sky Sport

MG

That seems to be about it. Given my tv limitations, I probably won't see any top class rugby until Autumn except maybe a Lions game or two and possibly a celtic cup game. It'll be a long summer. I'll have to develop an interest in GAA..................unlikely.

I can make the pub for all the Lions matches. It's not feasible for the S12

Well done that man

TBH the lions don't interest me as much with the likely minimal irish impact on the starting 15. I know thats pretty small perspective, but I had been at Leinster games thinnking there are half a dozen potential lions playing here. Now there'll only be 1.

Well on eMule you can download Toulouse-Brive from a couple of weeks ago. A Toulouse supporter recorded it on French TV (so it has French commentaries) but it's a nice match to watch! Basically it's Toulouse at it's best!

I'm a Toulouse supporter (from Toulouse) but I miss all the championship matches because I live in Ireland now... That's how I get to see them now!

If you're interested let me know, I'll give you the exact link of the file...

w00t!! Didn't know the Lions will play Argentina aswell :eek: That's cool, should be a good game.

Don't be suprised to see some Irish lads in warmup/ in between games....but in the 3 tests....hmm difficult to see more than 2 or 3 making the team...if even.

Indeed! But when you have Sky, you have to pay extra for Setanta even though it's free on ntl! Gutted... :mad:
