30 bills return to Bristol with Ryan air. Hire cheap car 55 bills for 2 days.

If I can squeeeeeze 4 into it, that's 45 bills each there and back.

I saw that Bristol was cheaper alright but I need to be hone quite early on the Sunday and there's no way I am doing the red eye from Bristol :)

I take it you've stayed here before Ashling-recommend it? I'm getting a rate of £100 for a twin room......seems reasonable.
We all dream of a team of Sean O'Briens......

Yep. I always stay there. Either that or the Best Western are good choices or the other one we used as a base for the H Cup match - The Thomas Arms (I think).

I got it for £100 also. It's popular for weddings so that's why it's pricey I'd say.

I'll be going the Ryanair route as I'm a cheap b$&%@#d but will splurge for the Stradey Park Hotel. Hopefully there'll be more than the 5 or so members of the blue army who got to Llanelli last time :shock:
The sport that unites Catholic, Protestant and dissenter has had its day of days. Pity anybody who can't enjoy it. Some day.

Think they'll be showing the Irish game in the Hotel bar (Stradey Pk - £80 directly from their own site / £100 on other sites it seems) the next morning? Or where does one go at 6am to watch Ireland play Russia?

Lovely - thank you :)
I suppose when I rang to enquire from them what their cancelation policy was, I should have asked the very same question : :oops:
Thank you for doing it for me :wink:

Pretty good, when you consider they have only existed since 2003. That's about 600 odd games a year or nearly 2 every day! :lol:
