If you're just looking for a pint go to the roseburn out at the ground! Proper Edinburgh boozer.

Is it on the TV? It wasn't on BBC NI the last time I looked and not on the red button schedule either.
Not listed on the BBC Alba programming so BBC NI your main hope I would have thought

Cheers BHM, we are staying fairly close to the ground so might eat before we leave then. Either that or head for the Murrayfield Arms - presuming that's the hotel you refer to?

Last time I was at Murrayfield was for the Celtic Cup Final (!) and if I remember rightly we weren't allowed to drink in the ground (or was that Meadowbank??). Can you grab a pint at the ground now?

No it's the Murrayfield Hotel. There is a bar called the Murrayfield Bar slightly closer to the ground which has a 'sauna' next door. Doubt that it lets in childer. The Hotel has a goodish bar/restaurant called The Bothy.
Yes you can get a drink in the ground no bother. Expect to pay stupid prices though! Mind you what's a pint at Ravers these days??

It looks like the only way to see this match is to be there, nothing at all on the BBC site for this even on the red button :shock: :banghead:

For this fixture last season, the BBC said they would show it online on the BBC website but they did end up showing it on red button, however red button coverage wasn't confirmed until the same day as the game.

During the schools' cup game today they said they (BBC2NI) were covering it.
From the rolling glens of Antrim through the hills of Donegal we will stand and shout for Ulster as we win both scrum and maul from the lovely lakes of Fermanagh tae the shores of ould Lough Gall we will scream and shout for Ulster as we beat them one and all!

According to Winker Watson it is on BBC website and on Red Button on BBC2
“That made me feel very special and underlined to me that Ulster is more than a team, it is a community and a rugby family"

Looks like the beginning of a good posse especially when you build in the student element

Staying at Premier Inn, Haymarket and have a meal/drinks booked for Mercat Pub/Restaurant next door.
Not too long a walk from there. A fleg in hand.

I highly recommend the latter. The former USED to be nice. :oops:
