EPCR have set their prices for Leinster’s Champions Cup semi-final against Northampton at Croke Park on average at €10 lower than was the case for the clash between Leinster and Toulouse at the same juncture at the Aviva Stadium last season. The average price for a ticket for last year’s semi-final...

You can boo Keatley your own player but don't boo Roggie. They have been called out for hypocrisy on booing. Munster fans need to reel their necks in a little. https://i.ibb.co/Kx2qpWz/image.png https://www.balls.ie/rugby/ian-keatley-reveals-profound-effect-booed-munster-fans-personal-life-362409

You can boo Keatley your own player but don't boo Roggie. They have been called out for hypocrisy on booing. I remember being in Thomond when Heaslip was booed while going off injured, he was Ireland captain at the time. [emoji849] I know munster fans are hurting...1 win from 5 in Europe is not a g...

JohnG did a decent job of analysing the run in for the top teams. Leinster need 4 out of 5 to get top spot with the Bulls run in.

Ah look there's clowns in every fan base. I can also give the anecdotes of Leinster dopes and I've seen Munster dopes. Munster fans have been in second place for 15 years after a period of being on top. They have their own expectations and their own disappointments. The way some Munster fans might ...

Kidney was the guy who walked out on Leinster to our then-biggest rivals the day of our biggest game of the season. He was despised by Leinster fans, players, and Leinster Rugby after that. He still got the Irish job and was, for a short time, successful with it Yea but my point is that Leinsters i...

jeeezuz. That's sick. didn't catch that. life time ban?

I can't remember Leinster fielding so many excellent kickers of the ball. JGP, Ross, Rob, Osborne,Lowe, Frawley all can kick cleverly or for distance. Even in our pomp we never asked Dempsey,Horgan,BOD or Darcy to do that amount of kicking. Kearney was probably the best kicker after Sexton. Takes p...

I, for one, would certainly hope so. Thats the vibe I would think a lot of people including influential people will have. A bit too anti-establishment for the IRFU. Bit like Shaun Edwards and the England setup. ROG leaked Prendergast being approached by Munster (sorta) and that the RFU were looking...

those seats look good Johng.

Impressive win, think they're most talented team in the comp. However is there defence good enough for a tight game? very impressive and it didn't centre around Dupont. He had a good game but there is so much quality on that team. leaky defence, true, but, every time they had the ball in the last 3...

@mods: can we merge these threads? https://leinsterfans.com/forum/viewtopi ... 86a20fc4d3

Who pays Dupont's wages? That'll decide if he plays the final Toulouse. Their replacement 9 is superb too if he opts out to join sevens team. They have so much quality on that team...their 6, Willis, is savage. love his comittment and drive, he's like an english version of POM. He stood out in the ...

And the same Munster fans who booed Ian Keatley . Probably the same lads who gave Foley dogs abuse and sent him hate mail. Probably were. I love Munster but there's a chunk of our fan base I just can't relate to or understand. https://i.ibb.co/Vx9gs7h/image.png quite a few were losing their sh!t on...

The Heineken Cup has lost a lot of prestige. The competition organisers would benefit hugely from getting it packed to the rafters 80,000 fans. I think last years URC Final getting a sell out 55,000 tickets for DHL Stadium was a massive landmark for the tournament. tickets were mostly less than the...

You don't need to fill Croke Park for this to be a success. Aviva Stadium is unavailable so it isn't like Leinster have gambled here (plus EPRC decides the venues). If they get more than 50,000 (e.g. more than would fit in Aviva Stadium) then its a good days work. If they (EPRC) are smart they will...
