But like that's brilliant because it means that, you know, everyone has the opportunity to come and that's going to be kitted out.

So that's brilliant as well.

They have a thing called the Tunnel Club, which you've probably seen Man City have it, Spurs have it and Saracens have it, which is basically,

Now, I'm well aware that not all these private premium suites are going to be used by your average punter, but they're going to be well looked after as well in terms of the stand.

But the Tunnel Club is basically like a glass private suite in the tunnel where

You'll be able to see the players coming in and out and you'll have your own special seats.

Again, that is a great way for Connacht to make money.

Six Nations Squad Announcement | French Omissions | Connacht’s new home & Munster’s Misery
So it's 40 million worth of works that they've put in.
Indo Sport
Six Nations Squad Announcement | French Omissions | Connacht’s new home & Munster’s Misery
And it had been a while since I had been in Connacht.
Indo Sport
Six Nations Squad Announcement | French Omissions | Connacht’s new home & Munster’s Misery
And honestly, having been there yesterday, I was blown away by how different it looks.

Six Nations Squad Announcement | French Omissions | Connacht’s new home & Munster’s Misery
It's really, really cool.

As I understand it, the high performance centre is behind the stand.
