It's so far from ideal for Irish supporters, but for any French supporters who aren't from Paris, a Thursday night isn't ideal either.

So maybe you could capitalize on that sense of it as well.

But that's definitely the glass half full approach.

I think Ireland's body of work over the course of last year was trending downwards, I think you would have to say, rather than upwards.

And that makes me very nervous as well.

Yeah.

I'm in the driver's camp.

Family, it's the clan terrace that they had.

Are there two N's in clan?

you have to ask the Galway Gael Gores but Clant Harris is where the diehard Connacht supporters are so they've made it into the Clant stand it's very impressive I have to say from what Connacht had to what it is now it's very very impressive the new stadium is going to hold 12,500 when all is said and done obviously they're playing Leinster on Saturday it's the grand opening there is a proper buzz around the place so just to give a flavour

I suppose, of what the stand is like.

Connacht previously weren't able to do much corporate stuff, which is obviously where a lot of money is generated.

So they've got a massive suite on the third floor that holds 860 people that they'll be able to have in.

The Atlantic premium level.

The Atlantic premium level, yeah.

And the view from up there is spectacular in terms of seeing, I think it's called Loc Atelier, Loc Atelier.

it's spectacular and a great view obviously of the match the dog track remains and you know across the way you still have the big glass glass stand and there's nothing has changed from behind the goals but there is a designated family room which was a big thing that the province wanted to push for so the wives partners and children can go in there before the games there is that is such a great touch for the players

Yeah, and like it's something that, you know, we could just gloss over, but like imagine it's a really nice space.

There's a sensory room called the Cordia Suite, which again is such a fantastic idea.

I know more of the bigger stadiums, the Aviva, are catering from that as well.
