Ireland Grand Slam Homecoming? (Fingers crossed)

nobbin

Does anyone know if there are plans a foot for celebration of some kind?

Will there be a home coming even of we don't do it against ENG?

I'm sure there are plans ready to be put in place.

No way.

I really hope not.

If they do win the GS though, I reckon some sort of event/gathering in Smithfield similar to what is done every year after Dublin win the All Ireland.

Unfortunetly if we lose to England, the IRFU have stated that all 23 players will have their contracts cancelled and not be welcomed back here at all

The Rape of Lucretia

Good gracious, I hope not. It would smack terribly of a 'peoples' sport, like soccer or some such.

Okay this isn’t funny anymore it’s just trolling. Banned.

That will suit the Munster lads. They can all follow Zeebs to Paris. And they can blame Jamie Heaslip

POM is going to Montpellier...he much prefers the Languedoc region as he's a connoisseur of fine red wines

That's such a coincidence, because Heaslip was a connoisseur of red whines

There might have been, until you guaranteed a loss by starting this thread.

There is a homecoming event tomorrow. You need a ticket however so keep an eye on the IRFU/Aviva Stadium/Vodafone Twitter/Facebook on how to get one.

You see, rugby is for the moneyed. Keeps 'the people' in check. They can have their O'Connell St double decker bus events. Rugby. Different. Better. And just a touch more exclusive.

A homecoming was already planned last week.

Just in the tradition of a triumph someone will have to walk beside Joe whispering "all triumph is fleeting......."

Wonder will the provinces see the trophy. Think they did the last time didn't they?

Great. Thanks for that info.

Wonder will the weather cause this to be cancelled

It'll certainly reduce the numbers attending, which is a pity. No way I am going out in that......speaking from SouthWest Dublin.

The SCT final has been cancelled so there’s a chance this might be too.

thomond2006

It's absolutely howling snow in D4. I can't see this going ahead. I doubt emergency services will look kindly on big crowds descending on the Aviva.

Stheno

The big day out in Merrion Square has been cancelled cant imagine this will go ahead

Just been told by the boss (I work in the Aviva) that its cancelled.

I doubt it - it would seem unfair to the players.......let them get home to their families....and back to their clubs.

ANXIOUS

Officially canceled, no mention of being refixed.

Highly unlikely.

Pro14 and Europe coming up. There won't be a big event.

So when the OP corssed his fingers, the last thing he was thinking would disrupt the plans for a GS homecoming party would be snow.

Team land into Dublin airport T2 by 4.15pm, just as well the thing was cancelled - their flight was delayed by half an hour, which would have delayed things at the Aviva

Skid X

Shame for anyone who was planning on going, although I suspect the players might be relieved.

Standing in the freezing cold listening to thousands of screaming kids wouldn't be the ideal way of recovering from a heavy night of celebrating!
