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

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 ...

Re: Leinster v La Rochelle Saturday 13th April 2024 at 5.30pm RTE2
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 was there for that too. It wasn't just a couple of rogue fans eit...

Re: Leinster v Northampton Saints - EPCR Semi-Final Croke Park 4th May
Hearing that GAA premium ticket holders are getting first dibs at tickets for the match - premium priced at €100 I think that's in their contract. Ye just got the email from work price is €92.50 per ticket for premium seat. Anyone with a 10year ticket has right of first refusal no matter the event ...

Two Munster lads in my office already over to me to tell me they are going to the match on Saturday, not to support Leinster, could be quite the few of them there.

Re: Re: Ireland vs Scotland, Saturday, 4.45pm
Amazingly - if we score 4 tries or lose by less than 7 points - we win the championship assuming England don't win by more than 80 points.... away in France... Has it ever been the case that a team has won the tournament with 2 losses? Much less 2 losses in a row? Should we lose to Scotland it will...

Re: Sevens
The mens team finished with bronze medal in LA , they are currently 2nd in overall standings. Next leg is HongKong I've not been following closely but is this an realistic ranking ahead of the Olympics or are the big boys just easing in? Some of the big boys have had an experimental event or two wh...

Re: England v Ireland Saturday 9th March 2024 4.45pmTwickenham
The strategy of kicking the ball to relieve territorial pressure was correct. The tactical choice of the method, of box kicking, to implement the strategy was not. The execution of the tactic was awful. I agree. I don't understand why our defence isn't getting any criticism in this matter either. A...

Re: England v Ireland Saturday 9th March 2024 4.45pmTwickenham
I have no issue with the decision to kick. It was the right call and the ref would have been under huge pressure to ping us if we tried to kill the game for 90 seconds. The issue is our defensive set post the lineout. We went for a choke tackle and had three lads tied up, they got to ground and we ...

Re: England v Ireland Saturday 9th March 2024 4.45pmTwickenham
I'm so confused with the logic in our end game management. It seems in the modern game the preferred option is to kick the ball away and defend your position when leading even by the minimum. I find this approach to be one of the most frustrating tactics around and feel that on the weekend it cost u...

Re: 6 Nations 2024
We would be mad to leave the Aviva. The deathly silence, interrupted by the occasional "sorry, excuse me" from a tosser getting his row to stand up while he goes to and from the bar, has on multiple occasions struck fear into visiting teams. We must not lose this vital advantage by moving...

Re: 6 Nations 2024
Given what we saw with lots of those developer led build projects, perhaps we dodged a bullet. Lots of sports clubs got badly burned with my own local golf club wisely turning down a similar offer that would have left them high and dry. I understand where your coming from but most of those were unf...

Shamrock Rovers an outstanding example of why no one else wants to move if they can avoid it. The glass bottle is/was complicated enough. The site was empty for 20 years. If we'd tried to use it we'd be lucky to be there 5 years at this stage. The deal that was offered with the Glass bottle site ba...

Re: 6N: Ireland Italy - Dublin 3pm Sun 11 Feb 2024
It's as bad a sample as it is an easy stat to google and fire at people for internet points is the point. Being sub 50% is bad for kicker. It's legit criticisim just as giving out about the butchered tries is legit. Though it's not clear those who butchered tries will definitely be in the same posi...

Re: 6 Nations 2024
To be honest it's probably one of the weakest 6N's ever and it's not just Wales. This round 2 was probably one of the worst rounds i've seen in a long time in terms of overall quality. None of the games were very entertaining (bar a TMO call in Murrayfield) and even Ireland were only in about third...
