Leinster returns more likely
Did we get an official volume? Thought the link to buy direct ourselves by Leinster was that they weren’t

The link from Leinster Rugby email had an embedded code identification as Leinster Away Supporters. I assume the Leicester ticketing system can hold back certain tickets and only make them visible if you have the code. After a certain time they make any seats not sold via the link visible to all users. Not dissimilar to the pre sale links we get for Aviva games

I think the days of LR selling actual tickets directly are gone.

I like your right leg. A lovely leg for the role.
I've got nothing against your right leg.

The Leinster allocation are still available through the STH link. I had a quick look at some of the sections and the seats that are available through the Leinster link are not the same seats that are available on the Tigers website. There was a suggestion that we were being given 6,000 seats and if that's true then we have sold about 1500. At the moment, between Leinster's allocation and those still available on the website it looks like there are about 8,500 unsold

I'd say he was booked on the flight either way, along with Porter and maybe Mig Mike and Frawley.
Hopefully it's not too bad

SA TMO again having a major impact in a URC sharks game. Porch’s head made no contact with the sharks player in my view and the tmo led that dismissal. Sharks get a bonus of a try on top of it

With a Gaelic Football double header fixed for Croke Park on Sunday May15th, it seems fairly certain that any H Cup semi final in the Aviva will have to be fixed for Saturday week.

Which was probably going to be the case anyways.

The officiating in the Racing Sale game is so poor. So many obvious offences missed and some glaring inconsistencies.

Sale got marched back 10m for holding onto the ball after a penalty was given but then soon afterwards Thomas pulled a toddler tantrum right in front of Brace about a missed knock on but nothing was done about it.

Racing Metro vs Sale was an entertaining if poor quality match. I can't see Racing Metro surviving their encounter against La Rochelle. Nollan Le Garrec looks like the person who will eventually dislodge Antoine Dupont from the Scrumhalf position in the national team. At 19 he already looks a phenomenal player.

La Rochelle looked a hell of a lot better than Racing did in their respective QFs.

Top 14 results between the two teams this season:
19-0 to La Rochelle in La Rochelle in late March
23-10 to Racing in Paris back in September

LR look tough up front and we’ll drilled, I’d fancy our backs against them if we generate quick ball. Just need to beat Toulouse first!
