Re: Leinster v Northampton Saints - EPCR Semi-Final Croke Park 4th May
bank holiday weekend helps too, I think. Munsters' legendary travelling fans helped increase the heineken cup profile & prestige in the early days but this croke park sell out brings it to a new level. 200,000 tickets sold over just three games, within three weeks, to watch Leinster play sets a...

Re: Leinster v Northampton Saints - EPCR Semi-Final Croke Park 4th May
Great pub despite all the shite talked about it. Because of I remember it being always a huge deal and a mark of serious one-upmanship, if, while underage, you could get served after a Junior or Senior Cup match. While most of us managed it by 6th year, true bragging rights accrued to anyone who su...

Re: Leinster v Northampton Saints - EPCR Semi-Final Croke Park 4th May
Sounds like there will be a few returns from Saints fans, but, they will be snapped up quickly. If true, that's almost 200,000 tickets sold in three weeks to see Leinster play against Leicester + La Rochelle + Northampton. That is truly incredible. I miss the days when we had loads of room in the W...

Re: Leinster v Northampton Saints - EPCR Semi-Final Croke Park 4th May
It's sold out Did Leinster announce this or is it just via ticket master site? @rugbykino : They opened upper tiers about 20 minutes into the public sale. Last closed area was the Nally Stand, that got opened up around midday. All gone now. Sounds like there will be a few returns from Saints fans, ...

Re: Leinster move to Aviva Stadium for 24/25
In fairness we have given up a massive advantage to the Welsh teams when we play them in LR. They are so used to playing in half empty stadiums.

Re: Jordi Barrett to sign for Leinster
I think a lot of the current success we have which as mentioned many times here goes back over 15-20 years is attributable to Mick Dawson. Drop him at Munster instead of Leinster 20 years ago and things might look very different despite the inherent advantages we have as a province. Unfortunately t...

Priceless stuff. Leinster replace Ngatai with Barrett so.... Waterfordlad I've been a member of Irish Rugby Supporters Club since 2008, mainly for access to tickets/events. No more, I'm done. The power of one. It's a small thing at 50 euros a year but I'm quitting on principle. I'll still support M...

Re: A whiff of Cordite
Could just go to 20 central contracts, max 7 per team, minimum 2-3 and tier them so that a gold label player (say Beirne) gets 3 years and a provincial quota alone (say Casey) gets 1-2 year. Or 18 or 16 or whatever You can't hand Casey a CC (and not JGP) if JGP is starting agead of him. Othewise wh...

Re: New contracts for coaching ticket
Excellent - Leinster have made great signings either side of the white line Yes, seems like a very good signing. Outhalves and inside centres have a head start in coaching on most other players. A lot of the decisions about how and where the game is won and lost go through them and they have to hav...

Re: A whiff of Cordite
So of the first Irish 23, Leinster are paying the contracts for:
Healy, Kelleher
McCarthy
Conan
Ross Byrne
Lowe
JOB
Connacht pay
Bealham
Hansen
Munster pay
Crowley
Ulster
No one.
Sounds like Leinster are getting ridden.

Re: Jordi Barrett to sign for Leinster
The real problem (from the other 3 provinces POV) is the Leinster schools system, and the super strong foundation it gives us relative to the others. If I was the CEO of Munster, Connacht or Ulster, I'd be looking for IRFU support to try and close the gap on that front, and there's a few things tha...
