2ème match de préparation - samedi 11 août : CA Brive / Connacht au Stade Pierre Villepreux de Pompadour.

Any word on the Brive game on Saturday? Haven't heard anything and it doesn't appear on the fixture list on the Connacht website. No mention on Brive website either.

You want the game to be played on the Saturday? Just look in the Connacht official site and hey presto it says "Bristol Away, Saturday 25th". I can assure anyone planning to go the game is on the Friday. Unbelievably, it's one of two games Bristol is playing that day. They've got Nottingham at 2.30pm at their training ground (Clifton RFC) and the Connacht game at 7.45pm at Ashton Gate. Big squad, big ideas.

Shame it's not on a Saturday PM, would have headed down.
Would require an overnight-er in Bristol, can't really justify that for a friendly, even with Mul, Pat, Ali & Jake et all in attendance...








But never say, never......

So..........................................Car Hired, and driving down from Surrey heading back the same night..... :whistle:

Ashton Gate - 24/8/18 @7.45pm. Adult tickets a tenner.

Preseason game against Wasps has been fixed for Saturday 18th August @ 3pm in Dubarry Park.

It was 8th of August last year, but hopefully will be earlier this year as there (probably) won't be any new teams from other continents joining last minute.

Last year was unusually late (August due to the expansion. Usually it's mid July.
