Re: European Rugby Champions Cup Draw
What a nightmare draw. We might get 2nd place as long as we keep Fortress Kingspan intact.

Any odds yet on an Ulster red card in the first five minutes?Snipe Watson wrote:Us versus Toulon at Ravenhill will be massive.

NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

I expect us to win our three away games as usual.

We are the best away team in Europe our only group defeat in Europe in the last 2 years was at Ravenhill.AndyB wrote:What a nightmare draw. We might get 2nd place as long as keep Fortress Kingspan intact.

Re: European Rugby Champions Cup Draw
Every now and then , I find myself being a bit optimistic. Then. I get kinda nervous that i’ll be let down by my twinge of hope. And thusly my optimism makes me totally pessimisticBaggyTrousers wrote:I expect us to win our three away games as usual.

Re: European Rugby Champions Cup Draw
I'm actually quite pleased with this draw, sort off. Especially Toulon, what a fantastic few days/week away in the south of France! Tigers so so, and scarlets meh....
I'm quietly confident, going for 5/6 wins, with only loss away to Toulon

You've got to get your first tackle in early, even if it's late.

Is January weather decent down there?
Re: European Rugby Champions Cup Draw
Well if we get October it's around 21C and January about 14C

Russ , odds on he wont go to Toulon, i suspect he will be away again to Amsterdam, flittering his money away on drugs and biatches , that's why he missed France this year.Russ wrote:Urgh, was hoping to not bump into you in Toulonpip14 wrote:I'm actually quite pleased with this draw, sort off.

Well we haven't ever lost a match at the Kingspan so I imagine most teams will be completely intimidated by the prospect.

Re: European Rugby Champions Cup Draw
Tough group but no matter what group we ended up in as 3rd seeds it was going to be difficult. I'm confident we can handle the Tigers and even Toulon at home at least. We seem to have trouble against the Scarlets at times, especially away from home if last season was anything to go back.
All in all, a tough group but should be fun to watch and I can't wait to see how the Tigers, Toulon and Scarlets handle the new Ravenhill with 18k screaming nutters. Can't wait!!
