Plus imagine the trickle down effect of our success with style amongst the playing world.

Huge catalyst for us to capitalise on field status by a strong showing with the commercials and financials going forward.

Did you find any bargains?

There seems to have been quite an exercise in pre-booking and price ramping.

This is a sad development in the modern game.

It is not all that long ago that it was still possible to book a decent B&B in Cathedral Road to spend the night after a Wales international. Nowadays, you can go on a website the same day as the fixtures are released, only to find no availability.

I'm pretty sure it works like this: the powers that be have a hand-in-glove relationship with so-called 'hospitality' firms, who sell packages of ticket + room at vastly inflated prices, with a % finding its way back to the WRU. If that is NOT the case, then it's even worse... it would mean that none of the excess profits go back into rugby.

I know that there are highlights from BBC and Sky of the Final - Munster v Scarlets - on YouTube, and that you can still watch the full match on 'catch up' on BBC iPlayer.                                                                   But "When ?" will there be a FULL MATCH upload of the Pro12 Final available on YouTube?

Tell you what guys, after experiencing it first hand for the final in Dublin, i can highly recomend, just getting a tent and finding a camp site.

Brilliant experience. Cheap as chips.

dublin cost 4 of us £135 each including match ticket.

Bilbao? ride  on a bikedown with a 1 man tent easy.

Had this experience last year when my partner fancied going to see Lionel Richie at the Liberty. The only tickets I was able to find offered a ticket and a hotel room. Think the price was about £200. Galling as I live 5 mins by car from the Liberty ! Why would I want a hotel room ????

No silly suggestions please WinkWinkWink

Some boats go to Bilbao as well, I think. Ferry timetable out probably in early Oct, if not sooner. A nice option to take if the sailings fit.

Yup, the one from Plymouth.
There are flights to Santander and Biarritz (about 90 min drive) as well or straight to Bilbao from London is also an option.
