So, who's got tickets to what?

I'm off to Twickers this weekend, then flying to Lyon next weekend. Will also be in Paris for the 3rd test but don't have a ticket.

Tis gonna be awesome, we should dominate the Poms.

I'll be in Paris for that game. We have tickets right up with commercial airliners, but we're there for the atmosphere more than anything else. Gonna be great!

going to twickers, paris and cardiff...

managed to miss them all last year (was *supposed* to be at the dublin game tho :/ ) so making up for it this time around Smile
[quote]
Ive been the last couple of years, managing to get to France, Cardiff and Twikenham for the games.
I'm not going this year.... But damn I should be...

Its been the highlights of my time in the UK.

You cant beat watching the All Blacks run out onto the field, while you are the minority in the crowd and on the other side of the world

An over whelming sence of pride is felt.

Enjoy guys You'll love it.

I'm going to the Paris game on the 18th. REALLY looking forward to it. I dont even like rubgy, but I've heard its such a good atmosphere from friends that have gone previously that I thought fark it, and bought a ticket!

Going to the Twickers game, the Lyon game and the Wales game. You will love Paris Domino, i was there 2 years ago when we put 45 points on them - superb! Wait to you hear the sing their national anthem it is something else.

you'll love Twickers, the atmosphere there is amazing, especially after we give the poms a good thrashing

Well as it turns our I am jealous of anyone with tickets to either of the French games, as far as I can tell at the moment they are NOT being screened on telly here in the UK AT ALL! Terrestrial or digital... apparently Sky have more important things to screen this wknd...

Even the dreaded Walkabout's own website which lists which games they're screening this wknd doesn't include the ABs game... although that's fair enough I guess, if its not on TV at all in the first place then I guess they can't show it, can they????

Strange, the Woolshed here in Dublin are showing it tomorrow 8pm...
[quote]
I've just checked SKY online and your right Steveo.

I'm panicing here.

Someone's gotta be showing it!!!!!!!!!!
[quote]
damn your not kidding, bout tomorrow's game, is strange as walkabout had it advertised on tnt

Going to the paris game next week tho should be an amazing night (as long as we win, I don't even want to think about if we actually lost) Rolling Eyes
[quote]
yeah i heard something about some issues with the rights... apparently some welsh channel has the rights.... this sucks! Crying or Very sad
[quote]
Apparently the Welsh channel that has the rights is channel 135 if you have a full sky package, but the commentary will all be in Welsh! Ha! I think it might even just be the BBC welsh channel.

Thats hear-say by the way so please forgive me if it turns out to be not fully accurate.
[quote]
called up walkabout temple and they said they are showing game tonight.

also if your goingt to use welsh channel a friend of mine came up with the idea of muting volume then using bbc radio commentary Very Happy
[quote]
yeah, it's definitely on at the walkie.. and commentary will be in welsh....

going to be pretty manic down there tho... 8pm kickoff *and* a lot of people won't be able to get the game when they normally could... oh well might have to get there early Very Happy
[quote]
actually, just had a look, and you're right steve.. it's channel 135 on sky...
[quote]
I had a mare trying to sort out the game on Saturday night... Found a channel that had it on SKY, but when I rung up to order the channel the place was shut.

Spewing!

Whats the story this weekend? Same Scenerio? I guess a visit to the local boozer to watch the game will be in order.

Saw the game at the, yum, Redback on Saturday. They said to us beforehand they didn't think they'd find it but it was a Welsh channel broadcast from a French channel; I guess Wales are more interested in us than England are? I'd think they would do the same again.

Off to Paris this weekend anyway, and Cardiff the following, woo hoo!

here's the pisser though, someone from my work said today she had two free tickets from a client to Twikenham but turned them down because she didn't know who to give them to. Needless to say I put her in her place!

We went to Lyon and it was amazing. Awesome atmosphere and crowd, and it was a great stadium - plus you could quickly duck out for potent 2 euro mulled wines (or 5) to keep warm.

I enjoyed the crowd and the game (both the French and Kiwis) way better than Twickers last week. The French took the loss quite well...(I think!!!).

A barman was apologising to us for the stadium and we said 'what do you mean? it's one of the best we've been to!' Good sign for the World Cup next year!

Have to settle for the Welsh TV version this weekend but have a great time guys!
