Tbf I think England could get 40/50k+ consistently but like to take the game around the country. Not saying you are wrong but it’s a little incorrect. I’d take 40/50k right now. As to more attendance. Not sure they would get more than 30k consistently (could well be wrong). Specially given the lack...

Failings by the state to investigate adequately at the time I would imagine.... If we're being serious for a moment

We set Vicky Phelans kids up for life because she got sick with no wrong doing by the state we might as well here too.

They do. There is a fixed and a variable performance based component to 6n mens revenues. England and France get a much larger fixed based component. Ireland got more last year in total only because they won the tournament... Ie the variable component outstripped the larger french and english fixed...

Simply looking at health spend anyone can see it's fking ridiculous. Specially when you then factor in that if you actually need any medical attention you know you're going to be forking out decent money on top.

Good way to completely kill professional rugby in Scotland and Wales both male and female. More money to the already wealthier unions of France and England. The France and England who already get more money out of the 6N compared to the other 4 simply because they are ... France and England. How you...

It’s a recurring theme based on McGrath’s season to date but it really is essential that JGP stays fit. McGrath is a good rugby player but not an especially good passer for a SH. The seasons where he did well for us he always had a run of games to crisp up his delivery. Between injuries and being d...

So Nardol, game at home against Scotland. Now I think Scotland at least over the last 18 months have been the best side or the better of the 2. Winning this match and getting into the world cup would be a massive deal to irish womens rugby. Am I wrong in saying that? I think coming third and qualif...

Irfu were late to the game absolutely. However except for a 2 year blip after a host of senior players retired Ireland has been competitive with everyone if not the best of the rest. They must be doing something right. In fact it's only England France Oz and NZ that have bettered Ireland in terms of...

2k women play the game in Ireland. All the money in the world isn't going to bridge the gap with England where I've read numbers at about 50k. We need more girls playing and the annual news cycle bitchfest that follows every England game does more damage than great results like the game against Wale...

The RFU has over double the revenue of the IRFU and has to (help) fund zero mens clubs. Not all unions are resourced like the RFU. England is big enough to run a domestic competition.

This is the 50th time you've posted this exact critique. There's nothing wrong with the tournament, the problem is the complete lack of respect and investment of many unions towards the women's game for years.

Perhaps if the irfu put some money into the women's game rather than just bank-rolling leinster then they wouldn't get utterly humiliated. Could see a hundred here. Shame that the irfu are still stuck in the last century. Because the additional payments and contracts has really closed the gap with ...

If that's aimed at me you need to re read. I am not blaming England for anything, I'm solely focused on Ireland (and Celts+ita as we are in same boat). I want the women's game to grow and playing in a tournament that is predetermined and where if England want they can put 50 on whoever they like. I ...

Correct What's the difference? Leo Cullen refers to Leinster as a club, that's good enough for me. No need to word police. the thread title calls leinster the most supported club. there is a big difference between a club side and a provincial side which represents a much greater area. So Ireland v ...

Leinster being box office is upsetting some. They would really love to see them fail.

The jealousy is glorious.

nardol

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 now.

You could fund a couple of Mittys boats with cameras on the M50 alone.

I detest driving on Irish motorways as its basically the hunger games.

Its better on the more rural 2 lane parts strangely.
