Class. We may as well try and line up New Zealand next, make a mini autumn Tri-Nations out of it.

7 games there in June/July next year. Will that be enough for you?

Good news. They should be easier than Australia and I hope Trappatoni gets better results out of these than in previous friendlies.

Australia and South Africa in Thomond within a few weeks, are you sure this is a soccer forum?

Well it is the home of rugby. It must be paid for by now.

Tickets will probably be a bit tight for these games though I'd say because Thomond holds less people than there are block bookers, but then again I suppose a lot of Dubs won't bother their arses travelling down when it's not on their doorstep for a change!!
