ST holders generally get first dibs, and then they go on general release. There will probably be Scarlets returns as well on offer closer to the match.

Was McKee not captain of the Ireland u18's that game too?
Probably more squad rotation than anything but Doak is overrated.

SNCF is your friend. Direct trains from Lyons to bourdeaux, and toulon to Bourdeaux. Just choose your airport, spend the night in that town, early train the next day to Bourdeaux.

Half 3 on the Saturday, could hardly be better for Leinster. Maybe, just maybe half 5 but that's all.

No Gilroy this week for Ulster since he's under "internal review". https://twitter.com/JBradleyBT/status/9 ... 74432?s=19

hard to know what to make of that

i get the review of Jackson and Olding but seems a bit much to investigate him for making a comment which was completely private

was he even explicitly named by the press?

Lyttle should be close to fit by now, though if he were ready for this game he would have surely played for the As.

To be fair everyone will be getting reviewed at once, so they couldn't start the review until the verdict for the other two was out

It doesn't say that he's been suspended, only that he is to take part in the internal review, so won't be available to play.

Once the IRFU/UR started investigating the Whats App chat, he was always going to be taking part.

I've heard it was Candy Gwarwick, or Codney Gah You, they should be suspended as well.

True enough but didn't he sign a new three year deal in Feb?. It's probably one of the worst messages of the lot so will be interesting to see what happens

To be fair if anyone employed by the Ulster branch involved in that group chat deserves a suspension it is Gilroy.

Think he did, can't imagine much will happen him, probably a verbal warning or a few weeks suspension or something

It'll be interesting.

Everyone of them will use the defence that they were using a private messaging app, and that bar there being a court trial, in which all four defendants were found not guilty, the contents would have remained private.

No.

It's like cancelling an outside meeting 'cause your boss wants a chat with you, rather than being forced to twiddle your thumbs for a couple of months whilst on 'gardening leave'.

100% and with no trial the messages would still be out there without anyone being any wiser, I don't think the messages alone are enough to get anyone sacked
