Arriving in Marseille on Thursday night on a work jolly.
Need recommendations for eating and drinking on Friday please. We are staying 5mins walk from the marina.
Also, what time should we start heading to the Velodrome? Heard there were issues during the WC.
Cheers

If what you’re calling the marina is the vieux port, you should eat around there, then take the metro to the Velodrome.Jim Lahey wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2024 10:37 am Arriving in Marseille on Thursday night on a work jolly.

I don’t think you’ll see the same problem than during the RWC, as it’s not the same organization in charge of the ticketing.Torque went there a few times, PM him.

The 6 nations has been on DSTV for as long as I remember. Even before we had TV (1976) we followed it. There is now probably more interest because we play URC and Champion/Challenge Cup.Slick wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2024 3:05 pmOom, how much is the 6N watched in SA?OomStruisbaai wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2024 2:52 pmNo , they kak in their pants when we try to add some SH spice.

Depending on your fitness level, it’s a 2.5 mile ish walk from the port to the ground. Plenty of pit stops en route, we had lunch at Le Relais Corse which did a jobMarylandolorian wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2024 1:40 pmIf what you’re calling the marina is the vieux port, you should eat around there, then take the metro to the Velodrome.Jim Lahey wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2024 10:37 am Arriving in Marseille on Thursday night on a work jolly.

Eat and drink has to be Bouillabaisse and vin rosé, obviously. I can recommend Michel at plage de catalans, best reserve in advance:Jim Lahey wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2024 10:37 am Arriving in Marseille on Thursday night on a work jolly.

Yeah the 6N has been around forever on TV here. But in general every international rugby game is on tv here, even many of the tests between smaller nations will be on at least 1 of the sport channels. That is for just about every sport followed over here.Chilli2 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 30, 2024 4:11 amIt's quite popular.OomStruisbaai wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2024 3:24 pmThe 6 nations has been on DSTV for as long as I remember.

6N always had a decent following here as it tends to be during a time where there is no or little local rugby. Also there are a lot of people living here with roots to 6N countries.

Very strong. The bench shows a lot of depth.
Willemse was not in the group to start with and leaps above all the other second row this makes little sense.
otherwise as good as we can
6/2 bench, I've not really been paying attention, does Farrell go for that often? Or is it just the expected heft of the French pack that warrants it?
Edit, France have gone 6/2 too.
The South Africa effect, perhaps
France had been doing this for most of Galthier's tenure

Fair enough, I didn't realise that.
Someone on another bored described rugby as heading towards a game of Orcs on Dinosaur-back

Is it De Allende or Kreil, the one in the middle who looks like action man?
And I'm not going to speculate on what's happening/just happened/about to happen to poor old Kwagga.

It is Kriel in the middle. He looked like an action figure for as long as I can remember. Even in his early days at the Bulls he looked like that.inactionman wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 4:32 pm Is it De Allende or Kreil, the one in the middle who looks like action man?

Well we now know the teams, so I'll answer my own question on who'll be blowing the whistle
France v Ireland (Marseille)
Referee: Karl Dickson (Eng)
ARs: Matthew Carley (Eng) & Jordan Way (Aus)
TMO: Ben Whitehouse (Wal)
Not Impressed that the quality of Officials matches the rest of the Match

Believe it's the first time Farrell has done it with Ireland.
