Re: Leinster v Northampton Saints - EPCR Semi-Final Croke Park 4th May
Not only are we supplying the bulk of the players, we're supplying the bulk of the fans and revenue.
Even if the other provinces had (home) games over these 2 cup rounds,we'd still be putting more fans through the turnstyles than the others combined.

Re: Central Contracts
Surely every player who plays in Ireland is paid by the IRFU? Whether their wage is lodged to their account from the IRFU bank account or lodged to their account by the IRFU via a provincial bank account at the end of the day all funds come from the IRFU and therefore in effect every single player ...

Re: Central Contracts
The central contract itself has become a status symbol. And D'Arcy made the point that central contracts were how to go above the salary scale. The fundamental issue is that Rowntree prefers Casey to Murray right now while Faz prefers Murray. Now who negotiates with those players and makes the ultim...

Re: Leinster move to Aviva Stadium for 24/25
Leinster aren't going to kick fans out of an expanded Anglesey stand. It would be counterproductive to try. I'm sure they'll try and not move people around to much but some if it is inevitable (rows may be in different places, extra rows, etc. ) There may be some form of scramble for better seats an...

Re: A whiff of Cordite
The Irish Time rugby podcast "The Counter Ruck" poses the question is the central contract system broken? Question, who won back to back 6 Nations? To me the short answer is, that it's working. What is broken is other provinces development of players, and I would posit that Munster aren't...

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 ...

It used to be just the European Cup. Of course, the Safas throw a spanner in that works.

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 that's a decent wedge sold already. here's hoping Munster fans have got their crayons out colouring in their LAR jerseys ...

Re: Rumour Mill
Has anyone heard anything about Jack Boyle signing for Munster? Had heard the various rumours that he might be leaving over the last year and a bit, most notably the Exeter links last year, but a colleague who has a good track record on these things told me yesterday a deal is done and that he's si...

I'll call it the Investec Cup or the Heineken Cup, but I won't call it the Champions Cup.

Re: Leinster Academy 23-24
Expect Andrew Osborne to start in relativity strong leinster team on weekend. interesting, suppose he impressed last time out. Not that surprising. I had a guess at a possible 30 man squad and outside backs was relatively hard with the injuries already. He might well have gotten a chance anyway but...

Re: Leinster move to Aviva Stadium for 24/25
I’d guess it’s croke park for the home country advantage knock out games, for example a semi final of the Heineken cup. They obviously don’t want to say it’s for that only as it comes across very presumptuous but we probably have to register the aviva as our home stadium this year thus it can’t be ...

Re: Leinster move to Aviva Stadium for 24/25
There are 12.5k season tickets. We sold c. 42k seats for the Leicester game and just managed to sell out a quarter final against our sworn enemy in a massive match. Who in their right mind thinks we should be playing matches in Croke Park? I presume they will change their mind once they see how bad...

Re: Lions v Leinster - Sat 20 April, 14.00 - RTE2
was a rough experience for Barron, who bounced back and is now clearly 3rd choice. Yep. I thought that would have been curtains on his Leinster career with McKee playing so well last season. To his immense credit he has stepped up whenever called upon and I agree is 3rd choice hooker at present. Al...

Re: Leinster move to Aviva Stadium for 24/25
Hmmm If I (20 something years sth) want to sit beside my wife (not sure but certainly 15 yrs+ STH) at a match next season, according to my reading of the FAQs, then one of us has to drop our individual season ticket, buy two on the same account, and when the RDS re-opens, then that person "wou...

Re: Leinster move to Aviva Stadium for 24/25
I think they should have let people pick their tickets in Croke Park in advance rather than have to do it every time we move there.
