I've been to the pre-season friendlies the last few years when they've been on a Saturday, but I'll have to miss them all this season. It's a shame, as it's usually a nice day out, watch a game that there's no real pressure on, enjoy the sunshine, etc. Some of the games have provided some chuckles, like the time we played Connacht, where due to both sides fielding expanded benches Connacht had 2 x #22 and 3 x #23 on the pitch at the same time! The ref was heard to to call to talk to one of the players & said "Number 23! No, not *you* number 23, *that* number 23!".
