THE GOOSE FAT WILL once again be shunned by the rugby players of the four provincial teams as the BKT United Rugby Championships have finalised their Interpro Christmas games.
Ulster will be taking their traditional Friday night slot on 20 December, when they play host to Munster at Kingspan stadium with kick-off at 7.35pm, and the following day, Leinster have Connacht at the Aviva Stadium at 5.30pm.
Updates and adjustments to the 2024/25 fixtures have been finalised 👇#BKTURC #URC

Munster then will be hosting the big one on 27 December when Leinster come to visit Thomond Park (7.35 kick-off), while Connacht will welcome Ulster on 28 December at the Dexcom Stadium with kick-off at 7.35pm.
None of the four provinces are in action on New Year’s Day as had previously been the case, leading to a little more rest time than before.
Saw riquelme in Buenos Aires a few years ago playing for boca juniors. Absolute class player! Never panicked on the ball. Had an outstanding first touch and could pick a pass from anywhere. He also never ran, just strolled!! lol!!
@Johnny McGran: Fair play, was too nervous to go to the stadium! Twas prob grand
How we could do with a young damien duff these days!!
@Kj bar: How everyone could do with Duff. World class against the Spanish that day
Great to see some old names and some pool legends!
Uruguay made it to the final, beating France on the way and not one player of note on their team. If you go through their squad, most had average careers, some even retired in mid 20′s!
The Argentinean and French squads were serious!!
Didnt think Henry was that young in 1997. How did that French team not do better than quarter finals, must have still been improving. Those young Uraguayans peaked too early
Them French players – holy f*ck
Pity the Duff montage didn’t have his goal in the quarter final I think. Twas a cracker
