Nowhere on our island is 500k from anywhere else

I am toying with the idea of going to both games myself.
Malin to Mizen is over 600km...... sayin' loike!
It was under 500k when John was a nipper, but with continental drift in the interim...

Leinster are playing Benneton on either the 10/11/12th. Based on experience, do they usually play the pro 12 match on the Sunday if there is an international that weekend? I'd love to catch a Leinster match since I'll be close enough to get there.

Just be aware that as both sides contribute quite a number of their 1st choice players to their respective national sides, the teams in the Pro 12 game could be considerably understrength.

Have you seen the quality of rugby we get here in Ontario!?! Thanks for the heads up tho. Since I'm going to be in Italy anyways... and an excuse to see Venice.

Just cause you are 10 minutes younger than me Cahill........ :lol:

Ireland is 300 miles long and 150 miles tick.

Who knew that if you strung out the longest possible journey on the Island it would reach that far. :shock:
