Agreed about how marriages can keep things hidden. Though in this case, given they worked together on political goals in linked jobs in the same party, they where both a the top of, it seems unlikely Sturgeon could have no clue as to what was happening here. That's kind of how these things work tho...

There isn't. Leinster usually don't hit full capacity in the rds, it's just the top European games. It's also the croke novelty factor for this particular game. Can't move to LDR indefinitely untill you hit avg attendances of at least 30k. Leinster are also stuck to a long term lease with the RDS n...

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 ...

Leinster nearly more popular that Taylor swift :lol: How many tickets will saints get allocated? I know in the old days the away team were given the option of 25% of tickets for knockouts, now obviously they wouldn't take up that many, but they had their own pre-sale same as Leinster did. I'm sure ...

doing well to get over 60k id say.. given prices and limit on kids tickets shame munster couldnt beat northampton I would say it won't be far off selling out, the novelty factor of playing in Croke Park will be big.

Each contract is underpinned by the union on a scaled payment structure of €50,000, €90,000 or €110,000, and is individually supplemented by the provinces as they see fit or can afford. Lol. This is why they always voted to retain it. The uplift from getting a player on a central probably not nearl...

Best part, there's no way the reverse it, the damage is done.

A lot of Munster fans very upset on Ross Maloney's behalf.

His thread on the JB signing is a worldie. Weaved in Munsters botched POM contract and all.

Frisch was born and raised in France and hasn't ever been in the top 4 or 5 centres available, therefore he never got capped. Ben Healy is a more limited Ross Byrne, he is not a loss. Carberry kept getting injured and got overtaken at Munster by the guy who has settled into first choice for Ireland...

I still don’t get it? They have a really strong link to Ireland having lived there as kids. Beauden played U12 Gaelic for Meath. I’ve heard them all talk of loving their time there and wanting to get back to visit. The fact Jordie can do so and get paid well for it, all the better. Agreed but the w...

Nonsense Leinster players are in the main on central contracts That frees up their resources elsewhere for better coaches and facilities therefore they continue to have better players and the dominance continues This isn’t cyclical it’s not like football where a better manager can come to the other...

How we will all laugh when the game is dead as a spectacle on the island Munster filled a 40k stadium for a jumped up friendly 2 months ago. 6 of the top ten programs viewed on Irish TV last year were the international matches including the RWC.

IRFU are fukking up Irish Rugby medium to long term. Good for Leinster short term, but fukking everyone else. Hopefully Humph can sort it, but not holding my breath.

A season long loan is pointless for the other provinces, utterly pointless. If the IRFU will sanction signings like Barrett for Leinster then they simply have to provide funding for the other provinces to improve, otherwise we become even more dependent on one province. How do they think attendance...

It's a 6 month contract. The 2nd of our 3 NIQs.

I think this kind of signing isn’t an issue if there a redirection of some younger players to fill problem spots in other provinces. Even as a short term basis. Season long loan for tector up north? Osborne or Boyle head down south. Connacht haemorrhaging players. But every indication suggests this...

Obviously great news if you're a Leinster fan as he's a fantastic player. But in the grand scheme of things 200K* that could definitely be spent on loads of other more important things in Leinster (including a TH) or across the Irish rugby system.

There you have it folks, the Munster media juggernaut was built off playing on Saturdays rather than Fridays. Jesus wept.
