We're beating Munster. It'll be an ugly ugly game, but we will.
Don't mention Rory Hutton. I did once but I think I got away with it.

It doesn't matter now but can you do an alternative one for the colour blind, next time. I'm happy to drive you to any location to do this . :lol:

Apologies I never thought of that! I'll maybe try and throw numbers in there too next time - or see If I can get different shapes. Oh the possibilities... :P

Just speculating but if Saracens beat Glasgow where would they play their SF? I'm pretty sure in past years they haven't used Twickenham but rather a football ground.

They used the Madjeski the last time, Twickenham the two times before that.

EPCR have tweaked the rules about semifinal venues. No problem with Murrayfield being used if Edinburgh have a home semi.

This is interesting, I thought they had to nominate their stadiums at the start of the tournament and presumably Glasgow will have nominated BTM as theirs (unless they have gone Rugby Park or Celtic Park)?

It makes sense for either Scottish team to play a semi final at Murrayfield, the SRU, and so the team, don't lose out on gate money by having to hire Celtic Park or wherever

Agreed, but in a scenario where, lets say, Glasgow have nominated BTM for their home knockout games. If they were to meet Edinburgh and have home advantage, would EPCR allow the game to be played in Edinburgh's home ground (even if Glasgow were, which I think they know they won't be given the hoo-ha there was around the 3erd 1872 game / Silver Saturday)? The sooner we get mini-Murrayfield up and running the better as then the problem goes away!

https://theoffsideline.com/champions-cu ... emi-final/

So looks like it’s a possibility. If both Scottish sides could get past their QF opponents, could they sell out BTM for a Champoins Cup Semi schedular don a Saturday afternoon? I actually think the Weeg would be OK with this, a blockbuster match like that should be at the national stadium and p*ssing away revenues by hiring a football ground makes no sense. This is a vey different matter to the 1872/Silver Saturday affair!

we are where we are,and deserve to be in this posistion.A few players should be shown the exit door for next season,cause to be quite blunt they will never make it at this level as long as their DonalCourtney point down the way.

Anyone have an update on ticket sales? A look at the stadium map suggests many thousands since the announcement that 20k had been sold but would be interesting to have an accurate figure.
(As someone posted a couple of weeks ago 7 years ago in the lead-up to the Toulouse QF there were regular updates on the sales figures which all helped build up the hype and itself encourages the occasional spectator to want to be part of something big.)
