Final move for 2023
« on: May 19, 2022, 01:34:15 PM »
 With all the discussion on here about reaching HC qualifying , it’s a bit disappointing to see next years finals are being moved to Dublin.

  Would have thought the London (West Ham) Stadium would have been available if Spurs at home, and the holding company could have done with the income as Athletics are pulling out of there.

Nice for Leinster home matches probably in the Quarters, Semis and Final. Getting very sick of a blind eye to their use of the Aviva for home matches.
Let me tell you something cucumber

Can we just save time and hand them the cup now?

That's what Chris Ashton said about the Challenge Cup and Saracens at the start of the Radio5 commentary on our semi-final against Lyon.
...
and we all know how the semis worked out.

What a load of b******s from ERC.

As if the Irish did not get enough favours from a Dublin based enterprise.

Anyone know why the Spurs ground was selected ahead of Twickenham?
