Re: European Cup Semi-Final: Away to La Rochelle

Jesus lads, munster really are living rent free in your heads. I think there should be a nomenclature agreement relating to the four primary figures. If you want to call it ROG's La Rochelle, you must also refer to us as Lancaster's Leinster If you call it Cullen's Leinster, then you must also refe...

Re: Sneak Peak - RDS Redevelopment Plans

I'm not sure where to put this question but did the IRFU really pay €23m for the offices on Lansdowne Road? There is no clear statement in the accounts but there are Additions to premises and grounds of €23m and there isn't any commentary on it other than to say they bought the offices. The annual ...

Channel 4 have live coverage starting at 12.30 according to my TV guide.
Brilliant thanks. It wasn't listed on the Leinster fixtures page so never checked there.

Re: Zebre at home, 23 Oct. 19:35

Would it be better to play this game in Donnybrook? Is there any financial benefit to Leinster Rugby in doing so? This keeps coming up. I believe the stance is that we are contracted into playing a number of games at the RDS each season. There may be other factors at play too such as better facilit...

Re: TV viewing of quarter final

DID had the Now TV dongle + 1 month sky sport and sport plus (inc. BT Sport) for €30 or so earlier this week. Obviously you need to cancel before 30 days to avoid follow-on charges.

Re: Leinster v Salarysins

I think when weighing up whether to make exemptions for televised sports events, such as the close-out of the 2019/20 Rugby competitions, significant weight should be given to the morale benefit to large numbers of people (especially older people). For me as for many the spring lockdown would have b...

Re: Leinster v Saints Sat 5.15 Aviva

thats all fine, but none of that is against the laws as long as you start your run from behind the ball and don't change your line. Take a look at virtually every try our backs scored between 2000 and 2011 using the Gaffney loop. Its all dependent on one simple fact - you can take a guy out deliber...

Re: European Cup final 2019

It seems Associate members are out of luck with regard to Tickets allocation unlike last year. I presume this falls out from the numbers allocated but anyone know the score? I haven't seen the STH email but just curious whether the allocation system has changed.

Thanks

The Irish way on an issue like this (notwithstanding that a screwup had arisen elsewhere) would likely have been to sort this out and certainly to ensure that two respected international sportsmen (who were clearly going to leave the jurisdiction promptly) did not have the indignity of deportation. ...

Remember him going to the aid of an opposition player in an ERC game a few seasons back when his own people seemed not to notice his difficulty.
