Having spent a weekend watching live rugby league it was back to 6 Nations rugby; that meant a trip to Cardiff via Bristol for me. I’d booked into an Airbnb in Cardiff Bay for 2 nights at a very reasonable £80. What wasn’t so reasonable was that it was cancelled 2 days before my trip! … More Wales v Ireland – Event 30
A chilly evening midweek saw me take to my favourite road – the M25 – to make my way to Allianz Park for the Saracens Supporters Association’s Front Row Event. I’m a member of the committee so try to arrive early to meet and greet people – but with problems on both the M25 and … More Saracens Supporters Association – Front Row – Event 26
Having spent the morning at the side of a muddy pitch in Trinity College Dublin, watching what really was a different form of rugby I headed for some warmth before heading off to Landsdowne Road to collect my ticket for the Ireland v England game. As I drank a cuppa the snow came pouring down … More Ireland v England – Event 25
Rugby Union is a wide spread and popular game, when I’m on an away weekend I try to take in as many games as I can. I originally booked my flight to Dublin to take in the Parliamentary game. I sit next to a very charming MP at Allianz Park and we’ve chatted about me … More The Irish Dail & Seanad XV v The Commons & Lords Rugby Club – Event 24
I booked a flight to Dublin for the weekend of the Ireland match against England in the hope that I’d find a way to sort out a ticket for the big game. A good friend was kind enough to get me a ticket to watch the Legends game taking place in Donnybrook, so some guaranteed … More Ireland Rugby Legends v England Rugby Legends- Event 23
What chance that Sales Sharks would be playing at home on the weekend of the World Club Series – well I suppose a 1 in 2. A much slimmer chance that their opponents would be Saracens! I couldn’t believe my luck when I saw that was the case, so promptly booked my ticket. Having had … More Sale Sharks v Saracens – Event 19
I’m so very tempted to get 2 Events out of this afternoon – and the rugby on show was certainly worthy of 2! I was reminded by a Press Release from Premiership Rugby that the culmination of the Academy season was to take place at Allianz Park on the 1st Monday of Half Term. I … More Premiership Rugby U18’s Academy Finals Day – Event 16
In spite of it being Round 2 of the Six Nations Tournament, Premiership Rugby still continues. That seems slightly crazy, especially for those teams with lots of players featuring for their country. And so 2 such teams, Saracens and Bath Rugby faced each other at Allianz Park. My journey was a different one to my … More Saracens v Bath Rugby – Event 15
Having succumbed to my cough/cold and kept my germ indoors for the week, by Friday I was to say the very least bored to tears! Along with work I cancelled everything I had planned and hoped I’d feel human by Saturday morning. In a bid to cut down the time I spent outdoors I decided … More England v Italy – Event 14
When I started to look at my plans for 2015 and in particular the 6 Nations I got online to see what was achievable as far as tickets were concerned. Tickets for Twickenham are always hard to come by, so I got an idea into my head to watch 5 games in 5 countries instead! … More France v Scotland – Event 13
