Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Leinster fans needn’t think he’s heaping praise on their set-up. He’s bringing up these points to justify the absolute embarrassment of a performance (for the reigning champions) his side put in a few weeks ago. He’s been doing it ever since the full time whistle. Basically nobody question his coac...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
I think that Munster's unlikely journey on the road at the end of the last season greatly enhanced the competition that year. Drawing away to the Sharks Beating the Stormers away Beating Glasgow away in a brutal QF game in which players were dropping like flies. Beating Leinster away by going the l...

Re: Leinster Worlds best supported club team- The people's team!
So what's the solution here? Cap the number of supporters who are allowed attend Leinster games over the course of the season? Gate fees for Leinster games get rerouted to the other provinces? This kind of success represents a grave threat to Irish rugby and needs to be addressed. A complete overha...

The seat map is back. If they've opened the full stadium (maybe some sections held back?) then it's basically sold out. If you want to go, get on there ASAP. I'm sure there's an allocation that Saints have that might return some tickets and there's also the Premium ticket holders on Croke Park who ...

I'm estimating about 30k tickets gone so far, maybe a bit under. General sale tomorrow and 2 more weeks to sell them. If the bottom tier+premium is totally full I think that'll be a good outcome.

Leinster have advantages in terms of demographics and may always have larger numbers in wider Irish squads etc. But is the province 10 times bigger than the others (as is playing out in terms of central contracts)?
