Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Assuming they're going sell 60k tickets as it stands... Were they to cut €10 off the cat 1,2 and 3 tickets to 65, 45 and 28 euros respectively they'd lose the guts of 500k... Which they'd recoup if the sold an extra 10k tickets as a result..everything after that would be a net gain. Carol Vorderman...

Re: Jordie Barrett to Leinster !
I know it's a troll, but I'll bite anyway. Ireland are currently ranked No. 2 in the world, after more than a year being ranked at 1. Ireland won the 6N this season after being Grandslam champions last year. Leinster are ERC semi-finalists after being finalists the last 2 years. Leinster played bef...

There was a 5 year gap between Piutau leaving and signing Kitshoff.

Utterly pointless signing. Of course, it’ll be funny if Jordie arrives next year, plays the league games during the 6N, and the away games in Safferland, and then, because all our backs are in such good form, doesn’t make the 23 for the Euro games or playoffs. Similarly for Snyman. And by funny, I ...

€200k for 6months probably car and house on top. Not bad for an average pleb but not huge money for a World Cup finalist really, quite reasonable in fact. Good business by Leinster.
