The organisers tweeted on Fri 27th that they would be out in around 2 weeks.

Does anybody know? Would love to be going to Toulouse in October, but don't fancy getting frozen in January.

That's the ideal but despite being the men with the star, French TV not happy with our choice as they fear that the last game will be a dead rubber - probably on Sunday of the last weekend of Pool games at 16.00 p.m. French National coach will pull out National Squad players and Irish Squad players will be declared "a week too soon".

Of all the French teams Toulouse are probably one who would be less likely to pull guys if they're out at that stage. But I agree that mix of games would be the ideal for us. Particularly also given Bath have announced two injuries to Watson & Joseph so getting them away early is good.

Interesting, if true they obviously think Bath fans are more likely to travel in numbers than Wasps. Would prefer if it was the other way around tbh. Get Bath away earlier and Toulouse away later.

Aer Lingus fly to Toulouse until the end of October so works out perfectly if the leak is true.

But I'd say that one of the criteria is which English side will likely fill the stadium more.

The Rec at night around Xmas looks good on TV too!

Who knows what goes through their heads in TV land. esp French TV land.

Wasps play Gloucester at home 6 days before they travel to us. We play Munster just a few hours later.
