Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

Looking at the Ticketmaster seat map thing, there's maybe a few dozen tickets left. Incredible stuff really. It’s weird. Leinster are the only show in town but the media still fawns over Munster in a way that Leinster are never treated. Can you imagine the media hype if this was the week leading up...

FWIW I read somewhere on Twitter today that last years round of 16 match at LR generated € 1.4m for Leinster, after the € 400k rental fee, and 35% of the gate receipts going to Ulster. It really shows the importance of a home match in the round of 16; and must have Ulster and Munster looking to use...

Interesting quote on the BBC website re Man Utd:
They faced 28 shots here, their highest total on record in a Premier League game at Old Trafford, and 62 in all in two league meetings with Liverpool this season - and yet have not lost in three games, the FA Cup tie included.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

Leinster's lineout was a shambles and Porter looked in trouble in the scrum a number of times. I think we look like a relatively poorly coached team these days. Not sure how much Neinebar has to do with it but we are kicking away a lot of ball and competing poorly in the air to retrieve it. Our def...

Article in the Sunday Times today with Cormac Lucey where he says he's running in the local elections this year in Dun Laoghaire Rathdown. Now, granted the guy isn't the most personable person around but if he does get elected, he'll be driven demented within a few months.
