Better leave the sombreros at home lads :shock:
University students have been banned from going to fancy dress parties dressed in sombreros and as members of the YMCA after they were branded racist.

They have literally just come through the letterbox!

£40 face value but I was charged €53.95 per ticket when I bought them. That's a nice €6 or €7 mark-up per ticket.

Yes I got fleeced buying tickets from the Leinster allocation. We'll be in the South East Corner, I think Terrace C was pretty popular with other travelling fans. The game is sold out now as far as I know.

Leinster are always going to put a 5er or whatever on away tickets for admin as they make f all on them otherwise.

I always make my decision whether to buy them direct or through Leinster based on several things. Obviously the one upside of buying them through the branch is being with other Leinster fans. The downsides are... They are always the seats that the away club want to stick you with, and the admin fee.

This time I thought terrace C was a no brainer. Bought in August. Tickets arrived 2 days later.

For the Ospreys game I went with Leinster. Reasonably good seats in west upper and with all the other Leinster fans.

Really? Never opened the envelope. Threw it in a drawer in August.

Hartley is a lovely guy off the pitch.....According to those who have met him.

Nigel Owens is the ref apparently.

Saints full-back Ben Foden has injured his PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) and is seeing a specialist. No timescale given for his return.
That's him out of the 2 games then?

If you're on Facebook would recommend posting on the OLSC's wall.
