The Celtic League fixture list for 2005-06 has been announced today. Glasgow Warriors open their campaign on the first weekend in September at Hughenden against Newport Gwent Dragons while Edinburgh Gunners and Border Reivers both travel away to face Llanelli Scarlets and Munster respectively.
The Autumn Test window in November is free of Celtic League fixtures as are the RBS 6 Nations weekends in 2006, meaning each nation will have their full complement of international players such as Chris Paterson (Gunners), Jon Petrie (Warriors), Chris Cusiter (Reivers), Brian O’Driscoll (Leinster) and Gavin Henson (Ospreys) available to them for selection.
Celtic League Director David Jordan, said: "We are delighted to announce such a competitive fixture list with Heineken Cup qualification at stake for all the Irish, Scottish and Welsh clubs and we look forward to some super Celtic rugby over the coming months."
