Anyone know if there'll be any face painting going on Saturday (& I don't mean for the kids!). I for 1 am going all out with the green face!! Should we bring flags??

Any team news yet for Saturday? I expect to see few changes but I don't think we have our best team on the field. The pack in general were outstanding on Saturday particularly in the second half. I think toulouse will be a different proposition though. The pace and power they bring will be a huge challenge. As well as being able to defend well - which we did magnificently in the Stoop - we will need to attack at great speed and in depth. While Griffin and TOH look to have great potential Tuohy is a little out of his depth. We have better alternatives available especially Mc Crea and . I feel also that we could improve the bench by at least having Jarvis there. O Connor has not delivered either as a starter or from the reserves. I have difficulty understanding why Eric took Nikora off against Quins. While POD had a better game at 9 than he did against Ulster his passing is still ponderous and loopy. Nearly every ball the 10 receives is in the sky or is too low. I can't fault his commitment but I don't feel his skillset meets the demands. The elite Toulouse back line will be a huge challenge: thankfully they have to face us in the Sportsground. Roll on Saturday.

where we all meeting before hand?O connells???

I feel like a ferret that has eaten too much sugar.

Me either. Saturday is going to be immense

They are putting in concrete terracing - they can't go too high though, otherwise they would obscure the view of the dog track. Still, another good improvement.

I suspect they are just laying a permanent slab of conctrete so that larger temporary stands can be installed when required, I'd guess that the Grass surface limited the size of temporary stand that could be installed....

I called the branch as I wanted my missus to go with me also and the said she could go but she wont be in the clan terrace with me,-_-s I know as the extra ticket I was issued was for the bohermore terrace!

Managed to find a way to get her into the Clan Terrace with me. Another Season Ticket holder I know cant make it, so I'm using his ticket for her

We'll be in green.
