Would be hilarious if the 4 teams to make the semis were those without a nominee - Stade, Montpellier, Connacht, Sale

If those teams were in the semis the player of the tournament award would be the least of our problems.

Announcing the short list at this point is nonsense. I’m fairly sure that they’ve announced a short list in the past that contained players that were not on the long list, so this entire list is pointless.

That confirmed?

Half 5 on a Good Friday isn't the worst time in fairness.

5.30 on Good Friday? Are they serious? It’s not a public holiday, plenty of people don’t get that day off work. I’m going to have to take a holiday day to go to a Leinster game. Very annoying.

Yes, we suspected as much already and this is further proof. No Director around the Boardroom table and nobody in key decision making position.

Tough on travelling Connacht fans too. Gonna be harder to sell it out. At least it frees up the rest of the weekend.

No way this will sell out now unfortunately. 40k is still achievable and is still a great crowd.

So with Leinster getting 10% of the available tickets that gives aprox 900 tickets available for the ST lottery for the first leg. Going to be some disappointed fans.

I understand why they wanted to keep the game at the SG but you gotta think they would have sold out a venue twice as big (maybe 3 times)

So the away allocation in the Round of 16 games is 10%? Interesting, pre COVID, it was always 25% for European Quarter Finals etc.

Yep that seems to be it alright, going by the email re the lottery from Leinster today:

"Under tournament rules the away team is entitled to 10% of tickets and so there is very limited availability for this away game."

Terrace tickets for the game in Galway are currently on sale on the Connnaght website if anyone wants to get one in case they don't get lucky in the season ticket lottery.
