Heineken Cup - Exiles rule out moving Heineken Cup ties.

London Irish have rejected any thoughts of moving their high-profile Heineken Cup ties away from the Madejski Stadium in the hope of creating a hostile home environment.

The Exiles open their daunting campaign in the so-called "group of death" at home to two-time European champions Munster on October 9.
Jonny Wilkinson's star-studded Toulon are in Reading on December 12, with Irish hosting Magners League champions Ospreys on the second weekend of January.
Saracens, who face French champions Clermont Auvergne, Leinster and Racing Metro, are currently in negotiations about which games they can take to Wembley Stadium this season.
But London Irish will not be moving any of their group matches to Twickenham in the hope of maximising home advantage at the 24,000-capacity 'Mad Stad'.
"We are relishing the challenge of the Heineken Cup. Doing battle with the best of the best on our own turf guarantees a true test of how far we have come in recent years and some great rugby," said director of rugby Toby Booth.
"We need to leave our visitors in no doubt that the Madejski is a London Irish stronghold. I ask all of our supporters to get behind the squad, fill the stadium three times over and show that we are a true force to be reckoned with both on and off the pitch."
