I felt good. Munster were too perfect and overhyped. My only worry was that we'd be exhausted after Quins.
I was in the Stoop in the Quins section and was devastated that they sold tickets for semi straightaway and we had no way to buy tickets.
Managed to get them but it was a struggle
There were a few grumbles in the Cabbage Patch after the Quins match but we were on such a high it didn't seem to matter. In fairness, Leinster Rugby allowed each Season Ticket holder to buy up to 6 tickets each in order to avoid a repeat of 2006 and it largely worked.Grumpy Old Man wrote:I'd forgotten about that!ronk wrote:

I hadn't. Got shite seats in the corner as I was only able to access tickets on the tuesday, after getting back from Quins. Glad it's changed since those days.Grumpy Old Man wrote:I'd forgotten about that!ronk wrote:

What a brilliant thread! Read it from start to finish (Page 42) and even now I cannot imagine how frenzied so many people became when it looked like Ticketmaster were going to screw up so badly it would be a repeat of 2006.Hornet wrote:I hadn't.

This article gets better with age. The irony/karma of his initial argument about succession planning concluding with the following is delicious:
I remember the media spin was that Munster fans would 'outsupport' Leinster fans much as they had done in LR three years earlier. This was aside from Munster being favourites on the pitch.joooooe wrote:There were a few grumbles in the Cabbage Patch after the Quins match but we were on such a high it didn't seem to matter.

6 of us all decked out in blue arrived on the hill 10 minutes before kick off and couldn't get through the crowd to the large group of Leinster fans so we were surrounded. The Munster fans around us were baffled that anyone was there at all supporting Leinster and they cheered lustily when Felipe had to go off. Our response a few minutes later (a rendition of "Athenry's in Galway") was not taken kindly.
D'Arcy's try was at the far end and we only knew by the crowd reaction (and Sexton's) that we'd scored. Elsom's illegal turnover on our own tryline, Luke's sidestep, O'Driscoll's intercept.
Wow, what a day and I agree with others that, along with Quins at the Stoop, this was the making of modern Leinster Rugby.

It’s the swipe at Isa that gets me. It’s car-crash reading!joooooe wrote:This article gets better with age. The irony/karma of his initial argument about succession planning concluding with the following is delicious:
In Leinster, Michael “Butch” Cheika and his Sundance farceur, David Knox, strutted into town and inherited a pretty decent, albeit soft-centred squad. What’s been developed in the years since?
Frankly, not much. Importing instant-fix, High Veldt muscle isn’t going to provide either a medium or long-term solution – given a pack that still doesn’t get the difference between “want” and “need” to win – and gives not even immediate succour when any bought-in, beef-to-the-heel Boer heifer has Achilles’ hooves.
Could be worse, I saw something on the Sarries fan forum for the semi final putting the case that the Jewish passover was a factor in Sarries pathetic support in Coventry!bails wrote:And weren't communions invented after that ..........
