Jersey RFC have confirmed the details for both home and away
matches against Leinster in this season's British & Irish
Cup.

Donnybrook ground at 2.30pm on Sunday December 16th. The Irish
province is also set to play a home Heineken Cup game against ASM

proposed trip would include both matches and one night's
accommodation. More details regarding these arrangements will be
announced in due course.
