W...

He's reffed us five times previously. Three wins and two defeats, all against English teams. The two defeats were the two absolute horror shows home and away against Wasps in 2015/16 (Leo's first season as head coach). We then defeated Bath away in a group game in 2018 and the other two were the qu...

My memory of the Wasps games is that we were really bad. They were terrible days. I was just glad Matt O'Connor was gone. Think the one pool game we won that year gave a lot of the current crop their first game. Or maybe first European game. Van Der Flier stands out. That was pre Lancaster too. Yea...

There are a few parts of the ground where you can buy a seat for €285 and be sitting beside someone who paid €497. We had some in the RDS that were €497 sat beside people who paid €650. Not as big a difference. The cut off has to be somewhere but you'd think that one person would feel ripped off an...

Not a lot left in the west and just corners in the east. Premium all gone I was in at 1pm and premium was all sold within a minute. Obviously they underestimated that, you'd think there would be an automated opening when all the blocks are full. One premium seat vs a corner lower is an extra 500 qu...

I logged in at 11.00 on the dot to find myself 477 in the queue. Got in at 11.17 with my blood pressure through the roof. I got 2 in West Premium block 326 row J exactly on the halfway line so I'm happy. I'm in the middle of the block so hopefully no incessant standing up for bar and jacks goers. O...

1pm slot, how are the 11am crew getting on? Did everything work? I logged in at 11.00 on the dot to find myself 477 in the queue. Got in at 11.17 with my blood pressure through the roof.

Although ITV always get thumped in the ratings for the FA Cup Final (or any other shared soccer match) by the BBC. Still expect the rugby to be the one pushed to ITV 3 or 4. Maybe a slight chance of it being the main channel if it is a Harlequins and Northampton final. There will probably be a dome...

Some discussion in England about the FA cup final moving earlier on the same day as the Champions Cup final as the Met are concerned about security at an evening kick off given that the 2 Manchester teams are in the final. So there's a potential fixture clash between the Champions Cup and FA Cup wit...

Cullens crazy , yes crazy selection decisions could leave us with nothing again this year. He got it badly wrong v Munster last Yr and got it wrong again today . Why not send stronger squad for 1 game here? We will be down to 3rd by next wk. We will have to see what we are made of now with games on...

No clue why this means we can't keep our seats. Cause the people currently sitting at the bottom half of the "D" won't have a seat (and maybe those in the first row or two if that's where the subs bench goes). So either they move those people down the very end (bit unfair) or they have to...

Yes, I'm aware it's being levelled thanks. Has it been confirmed that anyone who currently has seats in the Anglesea Stand will have seats in the redeveloped stand? Apologies, didn't mean for the post to come across that way. I think given history, Leinster are generally very good at trying to find...

That's fantastic! Getting over 50k would be massive! Am I the only one who expected it to sell out? It’s the first Leinster rugby match in Croker in nearly 15 years. Of course it was gonna sell out. However I didn’t expect it to sell out so quickly I didn't. I thought the fact that the LAR game was...

Yeah hopped on for curiosity, all premium gone and there were over 4000 people ahead of me in the queue. This could be massive!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzGjdI_JlWA Worth a watch, from Michael Cheka. The difference in what he says – they're where we want to be, let's get there – and what you hear at the moment from whingers left, right and centre is stark. Great vid. Cheiks needs to brush up on his Irish history thou...

https://twitter.com/djm_rugbai/status/1780912086274428992?t=yXulHbnhnt1aXhGp7zT6hg&s=19 ..... So our player wage bill is €14m And coaches. That calculation says that Munster are getting the same as us and we have to pay wage bills for the 60 players who we play when we don't have access to the ...
