A nice first match followed by a 4 week tour of Ireland where we will be lucky to get one win! Confidence will be rock bottom by the time the Wales lot get back from the world cup.

Very tough start your absolutely right, could be pressure on the coaching staff right from the get go. Trying to be positive though and thinking if we get a win out in Dublin against a team that will be depleted then onwards and upwards!

how come we are at home on the 6th sep not home in pro 12 for 2 mths

Arms park is being set up as a fan zone during the world cup so can't schedule matches there during the tournament

Dragons travel to Llanelli on a Friday night kick off is at 6pm - this league is an absolute joke!

Really? That seems ridiculous.

Might have had a chance against some depleted Irish teams at the Arms Park, really think we will struggle to get anything from those 4 away games.

at least the Irish sides will not be a full strengh

MONEY!

I quite like the fixtures to be honest

Yes it will be hard taking on all 4 irish in the first 5 weeks but honestly playing them then gives us the best chance of getting anything out of those games. We'll be missing a handful of players and they'll be missing half their team!

Well I suppose if that translates into a grisled lock and prop next season then I won't complain.

First home game on same day as Wales v Israel wendyball, and then nothing at home for two months.
I've read tha explanation in above posts but, blimey, what a joke of a league

The league is a joke yes but, whatever the league the world cup would still mean us away from home AND the money is good, very good, plus the new coaching set up leaves my much more optimistic in the team being able to get something from these games

If they do it will enhance their belief in themselves, also the of teams they face only Connacht will be at anything like full strength, so maybe that is the chance they need to get it going from the off

Record out there is mainly crap, lets hope they can get something!!!

Cardiff in the emerald isle:
Connacht .. last success away 2014 ... W8 ... L 3 ... D1 (last visit)
Leinster .... last success away 2004 ... W2 ... L12 ... D1
Munster .... last success away 2013 ... W4 ... L11 ... D0
Ulster ....... last success away 2010 ... W3 ... L12 ... D0

I think thats an outstanding draw for us. Really pleased.

Yes, I am cheeky, but I'm sure all will agree that competition is healthy.

THe Fixtures could have been worse. It's always a problem in RWC year. With both the First team and the seconds being forced to play away at the start it is somethign to be grateful that the finalcial reward is helpful!

Fixtures updated to include Challenge Cup fixtures (BIC replacement competition for WPL teams)
