Where will you be watching the Wales v France game? I live in Cardiff and have heard the Millenium Stadium will be showing the game for free. Should be good!

Yep, they're opening up the MS. More details soon:

I watched the 2005 Grand Slam outside City Hall and it was a fantastic atmosphere - like a party. I'd recommend the MS, just because it's somewhere different, and the screen will be huge!

I would've thought so. The roof was closed for the gig last weekend so they'll probably leave it that way for the week.

Bedford, I would've thought so, they'd be foolish not to allow sales of food and drink there.

I have a 21 month old son who I haven't taken to the rugby yet and this might be just the opportunity I think. So far he's more interested in Mr Tumble! Let's see if a stadium atmosphere can do the the trick.

It'd be a good introduction CT. Smile You should do the stadium tour one day too. I took a visiting friend around once and we really enjoyed it.

I'm travelling back over the bridge (well, under it technically) from Bristol to watch in in Newport with friends and family.

Probably go to the Pen and Wig - failing that Lloyds mug

The Pen & Wig's a great call for international matches OK

according to the telegraph they've had to up the ticket limit the interest has been so good, might be more like 50,000 expected which is a bit nuts!

Just heard online ticket allocation has sold out. It's proving more popular than anticipated. There's still 20'000 available but they're going fast....

They can have up to 50'000 people in there - they're restricted cause they want everyone to get a good view. 50K would be awesome. Keep checking the websites APM, they might issue more.

would be incredible if the stadium had 50,000+ fans watching the match on a giant screen, even though the boys are playing thousands of miles away im sure they'd really appreciate the fans support by attending the home ground to see the game

I would advice any undertakers amongst us to seriously think this over before getting dressed for work Friday.
