    Attend any of the Welsh teams playing Leinster Magners and HC, and travel to the millennium when time and funds allow...

    Ireland games, Heineken Cup games and Magners League games.

    All dependent on having money for tickets. I'm a cheap ass student bum after all.

    Prefer Magners League matches to actually go to usually.

    I might hang around to watch the game after or before my own but rarely go to games. Have too many nappies to change :-)

    Exactly the boat i'm in, and my sentiments as well. I always seem to have better craic at the magners.

    Although, had a smashing day at the Brive match last month.

    Brive fans shouting "Allez le Brive", me drunkenly shouting "Non non non! Allez les Blues!".

    Something I quite regret now in hindsight.... :(

    Haven't missed a home Leinster Magners League game in a couple of years and get to most Heineken Cup home games. Have traveled a few times but would like to do more.

    Internationals I get what I can. Managed to get tickets for Wales and Scotland games so looking forward to those.

    Haven't been to an AIL in a few years.

    Most Munster home games in Magners League (ie; in Musgrave Park mostly, Thomond 1 or 2 times a year.)
    All Munster home H-Cup games and home quater/semi finals.
    I would also go the away semi finals and finals with the old man if Munster get that far.
    Used to go to Cork Con AIL games when I was younger but not anymore.
    I also support my local J1 team.
    Don't go to International much, when I do get a ticket it was free or a present from someone.

    Jaysus, after years of not bothering to watch any rugby, I now go to any of my lads games (schools or club), will watch any team thats on before or after their games, try to get to see the Seniors at home Div 2 games and I go whenever I can to home Connacht games. With the fecking recession, we had to get rid of Sky Sports so don't get the see the GP which I quite enjoyed and watch any Magners games/Internationals on the box

    have leinster season ticket and hadn't missed a home game for a few years until recently.

    Attend all home internationals.

    been to a few away magners and heineken cup games but too poor to attend that many.

    Catch the odd AIL game too if it is convenient.

    Ah I just love the RDS. It's a nice ground, and my usual routine of pub, match, pub, mate's gaff, town, is fairly well ingrained at this stage. Also, it's a five minute walk from my house, which is fairly handy.

    As for atmosphere, sometimes the RDS's atmosphere's brilliant even without a full house. Contepomi's going away game against the Scarlets was one of the best games I've ever been to really. Plenty more good memories too.

    I see fewer games than I'd like seeing as I don't live at home anymore, but I try and catch Leinster whenever they're over this side of the sea (or in England more precisely, I don't go to the ML games cause I can't afford the time or money) and any games I happen to be at home for. Might start going to some LI games seeing as they're just down the road.

    Go to at least one six nations game every season, home or away.
    Go to most home Munster Magners & Heineken games.
    Attend the odd Garryowen game if I'm doing nothing else on a Saturday.

    Have an Ulster season ticket as an exile in the North, get to a few Munster ML and HC matches every year, usually those in Wales and Scotland and one or two in Thomond. Been to at least 2 6N matches for the past few years too.

    Pretty much all home internationals(except current ones as I'm in Oz)

    Spent the 90's attending every AIL match I could see in one weekend in Limerick, usually in Thomond or Tom Clifford park (Shannon all the way but my mates are Young Munsters). Also played in a few AIL games then.

    Used to go and see Munster playing in the 90's too when it was sort of secondary in importance to the AIL. Attended all Munsters home HEC games up until it became all ticketed and popular. Now just get the odd away HEC game. Still go to some home Magniers leage games but as I live now in the other end of the country it aint easy. Even been to a few Leinster Magniers games and cheered them on!

    Go and see my former junior team as often as I can, and attend the odd Boyne RFC game as the unknown stranger on the far side of the field every now and again just because I'm a rugby junkie. And by the way those Boyne games will be AIL games in the not to distant from what I have seen.

    I get to about one international per year Autumn or 6N. I get to all the Musgarve park games and 3/4 Thomand park games. I will always try and get to the Munster schools senior cup final on Paddies day each year. It would be unusual for me to go to a Con match these days and I know its something I should make more of an effort to do.
