Re: The quickening 2024

The main thing is not having Bulls finish first or second, and finish min top4 (Home quarter). Sending out say 3-4 replacements is risky for the overall group fighting on 2 fronts, with no guarantee of getting anything from the Stormers game. Let the squad that travelled (minus some returns) redeem ...

Re: The quickening 2024

You'd have to imagine the coaches are prepared for all outcomes, including losing to the Lions. If they haven't a plan, then that'd be a pretty glaring problem. So I highly doubt we'll see anyone fly out to SA. It's incredibly unlikely. We've got a team preparing for a sold out European semi-final ...

Re: The quickening 2024

I think so too Curates.... can't see Glasgow beating the Bulls. Assuming we don't get anything against Stormers, of our 3 remaining games away to Ulster could be the key one. Timing couldn't be worse; the week before the EC final (assuming we're there). I think there is a reasonably high probability...

Re: Lions v Leinster - Sat 20 April, 14.00 - RTE2

I watched the Lions play Connacht in the Sportsgrounds in round 12. Even with 14 men they eviscerated Connacht. 38-14 final score. When they click they are a very dangerous side. I can't see from the table how many tries they've scored but they have 11 Bps. They have pace everywhere so once they're ...

Re: Lions v Leinster - Sat 20 April, 14.00 - RTE2

When you look at the bench 16-21, there is not much of a drop-off and in fact a serious impact in many cases. Hopefully nobody is too badly affected by altitude. On another note, for the statos, when was Healy's last start, and how many has he had this season? I would really love it if he got a cha...

Re: Leinster v Northampton Saints - EPCR Semi-Final Croke Park 4th May

Apparently over 33,000 tickets have already sold before it even goes on general sale tomorrow that’s fantastic - also likely to be a good crowd from Northampton on those numbers I wonder does that include the 10k allocation to Saints ( I'd imagine max 5k will be taken up by Saints supporters).

Joke presale. Doing their usual best to sell you low down (literally), or corner seats. Waiting for public sale.

Re: Leinster v Northampton Saints - EPCR Semi-Final Croke Park 4th May

Not sure how reliable this is, but I have heard that tickets will go on public sale at 10am on Friday and are an average of €10 cheaper than for last year's semi-final at the Aviva Stadium - down on average from €49 to €39. Premium tickets this time around are priced at €90 for Premium, Category 1 ...
