How do you turn a duck into a soul singer?

Stick him in the microwave and watch his Bill Withers.

Our home (dark) blue one I think. ASM's home jersey in Europe is white.
The sport that unites Catholic, Protestant and dissenter has had its day of days. Pity anybody who can't enjoy it. Some day.

Plus we don't have the lighter blue one this year - it was retired after we won the h-cup in it last May!!!

Hrm, so I'm staying in the Etap hotel near the Connemara... But I want to get a taxi straight to the pub to catch the end of the Ulster game. Will there be an issue with booking in late with Etap?

Doubt it, they charge you for the first night if you don't turn up anyway so French chain hotels are rarely too bothered with what time you actually check in. I've checked in with Ibis in Toulouse at ten at night.

Some etaps don't have a reception 24/7 but you can still checkin whenever, just make sure you have the card you booked with, insert that in the entry door and it will give you a swipe card/Pin to access your room.

Have used etaps before, and checked in late. The rooms have a code not keys so you just need the code for your room
