Train takes 3-4 hours from Paris to La Rochelle. Bordeaux airport to La Rochelle is approx 2 hrs drive, but the Dublin Bordeaux flights also stop Oct/Nov it seems. There are flights to Bordeaux via London, then the drive. Nantes - Je ne sais pas >EW

My thoughts exactly.
Be nice to get enough to sing, 'Stand up for the Ulsterman'.

If Jimmy Nagusa is there we could include him and make it plural again.

Could be on 2 counts. BT Sport will want to show Quins/Wasps Double header in Dec and last year as a Pot 3 side we travelled 1st to the Pot 4 team - Quins this year, then hosted the Pot 1 side - Wasps with a double header v the Pot 2 side - La Rochelle.

This is a pretty good draw for us, in another year we would have been delighted with this group, but with our current squad..

It's a very good draw. We should be in the shakeup at the end.

Remember only 3 runners up go through so to be sure you have to win the pool

So either Andy has a firearm which he's wisely decided not to take to the match with him or you are beggsying the front seat of the car for the duration of your visit.
