Wait till the weekend gets to Dublin and Jedward are topping the bill

Of course they are, there is a big event in town and it is a bank holiday in Britians second busiest tourist city, you don't expect them to slash prices on one of the first busy weekends of they year do you?



Yup, they are. But if you'd booked earlier then you'd have got cheap prices, same as Ryanair or Easyjet, the busier they are the more it costs. The date has been known since the last one and confirmed months ago.



Ah, they were Travel Inn then Premier Travel Inn now Premier Inn, same thing.



You could have booked two nights for less than the price of one, again you'd have to book early.

Cheap prices were available, many here have got good deals, just because you didn't act quick enough doesn't make that untrue, people are not gonna hang around waiting for you to book you've got to get in first to get the good prices. The same applies for any other city, in fact Cardiff was worse for hotels.

More tries scored in a weekend than the SRU can muster in a decade?

Mmm, I can't imagine how the usual suspects here would have reacted if there had been a six nations ad at one of our test matches...

Make it winner stays on, like a royal rumble stylee.

The team eliminated first gets 1 point and so on and the overall winner gets 14. It's all in the luck of the draw because if you are drawn first it means that you have to play in, and win, 13 back to back games to get the 14 points. You heard it here first.

Judging by the advert in League Express, it's a play on Wacky Races. Either way, it's a bloody awful idea to promote an event that is struggling to catch the imagination. There's nothing Wacky about it, it's an important fixture!

Personally, I think we'd be better detaching it from the SL fixtures and either have a 7s/9s tournament or a cup round there. Or even have a League Cup competition and have the final there mixed in with a 7s/9s like NRC.
