I see times are up, match kicks off at 14.45

Toulouse v La Rochelle rerun?

Leicester - Stormers would probably be the most complete way to ruin your day.

Sarries vrs Bulls is one level worse

In a rush of blood and January boredom I'm jumped and booked travel and tickets to the final.

Nerves are jangling, roll on 3pm tomorrow.

Hey ho, Let's go. COYBIB!

If they had passed 35k we'd know about it.. maybe we will by cob today According to the OLSC we were approaching 32k at 5pm yesterday. I’d imagine 90% or more of the tickets that will be bought will have been bought in the first 25 hours or so. Sales will have slowed to a crawl at this stage. Also ...

Looks like upper West Stand will be closed (same as the Munster game)

Either that or it's the only section to be 100% sold out with zero resales.

Some great seats in lower East & West on halfway line now on sale, (Toulouse returns apparently)

Hell of lot better the 4 I bought on Monday. (BLK127)

Any word if the semi is on Saturday or Sunday?

Franno with a nicely incendiary line in the Indo: "The Spanish presence in the ground was unmistakeable. Amateur, colourful, noisy, partisan and there to simply watch the big boys - just like the Munster fans." you're not helping Franno! For the record the Munster fans I met (even the one...

That's a serious Munster line-up, will be a cracking game

Hoping our backrow have a big big game, they should be up for it.

We really should play this over the PA pre-match

https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/healthy-rivalry-not-for-the-unhealthy-1.985388 Good article on Leinster Munster rivalry up to 2007 It all changed after Croke Park 2009 (of course my all time favourite Leinster Munster game, surpassed only by the great 2011 Cardiff comeback in Leinster greatest ever...

John Hayes stamped on Felipe? I cant remember, I was right in front of it on the grand stand side - a maul on the touchline - can anyone remember? No it was Cian Healy - Felipe didn't play that match DoctorPhil had left Leinster by then no? Cian would be pleased though to be mistaken for the handso...

Excuse my ignorance but who were the lads in blazers who came up to Leinster fans to celebrate just after the final whistle (the corner below sections 310 - 312) ?

Bah, that's a bit shite.

I wish him the best of course, Bath have a great tradition of playing good rugby, let's hope he develops further and returns to Leinster some day

Girve the Swerve.. we salute you!

No Cheers when the attendance was announced was telling for ERC. No Cheers and quite a few boos for the officials when they collected their medals also. We did well to unstrangle ourselves and win that. Our defence on our own line twice when they had penalty advantage were the turning points in the...

Flying this evening to Santander from Charleroi, Belgium

Heard Dublin airport is manic, carparks all full?

Be mindful of the items which you are prohibited to enter the stadium with; some of these items include alcohol, flags, weapons, flares or fireworks and banners or symbols that could incite violence. Flags up to 1.0 x 1.2 meters in size, and flagpoles of flexible plastic of no more than 1.0 meter i...

Weather forecast for Bilbao

Friday : 24c, Sunny

Saturday: 12c and lots of rain

Gonna have to be pintxos in ponchos

The weather forecast currently predicts, what would be, an Irish summer day. 19 degrees, partially cloudy: https://www.eltiempo.es/bilbao.html But, as the lads above say, it is the Basque Country. You'll only get a reasonably accurate forecast 5 days out, and really only 3 days out, and really, rea...

I had a better experience there last year for the Top14 demifinal weekend, matches on Friday and Saturday, great atmosphere, not threat, no trouble, lots of sunshine. I think the authorities and locals are getting to realise that rugby is not soccer and have learnt to manage differently Had a ball d...
