The big match is nearly here and Cardiff Rugby Supporters Club and Cardiff Blues have been working together to organise events for this exciting weekend and we are pleased to be able to confirm the following details:
OUR OFFICIAL MEETING PLACE
Toulouses biggest Irish Bar De Danú has been designated as the Cardiff Blues Supporters Official Venue for Saturday & Sunday. Manager Dean Maloney and his team are waiting to welcome you and have been working with us to plan an exciting weekend.
The Pub
De Danu is located in the epicentre of Toulouse, the hot bed of French rugby and with Stade Toulousains Trevor Brennan on the crew, De Danú has already earned a reputation as the primary sporting bar in the city. Coupled with 4 different screens in 3 different indoor areas and 1 outdoor section sport is always on the TV!
Highlights of Blues pool games will be shown on De Danús screens throughout the weekend to remind us of our journey to the Quarter Final

Karaoke Night at De Danú Saturday from 9pm
Get your glad rags on and your singing voice warmed up and join in our special karaoke night! Prizes have been provided by the Blues for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places.
Get there early to ensure you get a seat and your name on the list for the singing!
Official Supporters Photograph Sunday 12.30pm
An official Supporters Photograph will be taken in the main square at 12.30pm on Sunday at The Capitole: An impressive building with an imposing façade, the Capitole, marks the very heart of the city. Today it houses the town hall and the Theâtre du Capitole. Its vast square is brought to life by the markets that take place there in the mornings as well as the crowds that meet on the terraces of Toulouse’s best-known cafes.
Turn up in your Blues colours for this official photograph and come to collect your Blues Try Cards as well as other Blues merchandise (limited availability so get there early).
You will be able to download the photograph from the Blues website on your return as a memento of our special weekend.
Match day Festivities at De Danú Sunday 1.00pm
The fun starts at 1pm in De Danú where we will be joined by Blues mascot Bruiser Bear for the all important matchday.
Special Happy Hour Prices available all day and CRSC will be running a Guess The Score Sweepstake with a special prize provided by the Blues. Please find Sarah (CRSC) who will be happy to take your money! Proceeds will be donated to the Rhys Williams testimonial fund.
Theres also a chance to buy your Cardiff Rugby flags for just 5 euro from Clive and John (CRSC).
THE MATCH Sunday 4pm
The 16th Man!!
Following the match at Bristol the Blues wrote to CRSC thanking all of the travelling supporters for their vocal support during the game. Lets make sure that we make ourselves heard again at the stadium this Sunday!!! No doubt there will be vociferous support from the Toulousains so plenty of shouts (punctuated no doubt by the odd song!) will be needed to cheer the boys on!
And well see you all back in town afterwards for a celebratory/commiseratory drink (delete as appropriate!!!) or several afterwards!
Enjoy the weekend and Allez les Blues!!!!!
