It is the third time the two have fallen fairly close close as there was a two week gap last year and we played in France on about 22nd May in 2007. Catalans are away in England the week before MM, although there are actually two fixtures between the Murrayfield game and Catalan Away - one round of the cup (we'll get London Skolars away!, and Saints at home). Hull have it worse than us, away at Catalan on 15th May.

Maybe they decide that because we've taken the fewest fans to MM each time then we're the least hit - without them thinking that it may be one of the reasons we've taken so little.

Could be right and I would imagine we'll take more to France than MM again.

In the article Clague says that Murrayfield Magic is the weekend after we play Catalans away. However, there is a three week gap between the games. MM being on the 1st or 2nd May prior to the 22nd May French trip. Its still going to be costly for some.

Harlequins away. Club says it's a 3pm kick-off, Quins list it as 2pm. Watch out for that.

will miss Unmagic Weekend on Holiday, so depending on how cheap I can get to perpignan I might have to miss that as well.
