URC 2024/25

Entertaining first half in Thomond Park. Was like a half of two halves plus a twist. Very soft try conceded by Connacht that allowed Munster back into the game.

Great first weekend so far it has to be said, roll on Ulster V Glasgow…

15k was the official attendance. 6.2k more than full capacity in Cork

Not Really. Why play it in Cork in a smaller ground so even less could go. Ridiculous to say limerick people not getting behind team

Before the modern Thomond Park was developed, there was a debate as to whether the stadium for Munster Rugby should actually be in Cork, with it being a bigger city and all that.

Support for Munster in Limerick has dropped. That was clearly evident from behind both goals being completely empty.

As mentioned in my previous post just there, if Munster v Connacht was in Pairc Ui Chaoimh, it would be interesting to see what support would attend the game.

Limerick have a great stadium on their doorstep for Munster. For some reason crowds in big numbers are staying away.

DDoes anyone know will Leinster and Munster likely play their best teams for Croke Park?? Just wondering as it will take from the occasion if the main stars remain rested!!

There were at least ten of the Ireland squad that went to SA playing this weekend, including guys who played both tests, so it doesn’t look like there’s any restrictions.
I’d expect the rest to come back next weekend.

I was just going to ask the same question. Good old RTE have nothing on their website saying anything.

The TV coverage on Premier Sports was definitely a step up on last year IMHO.

Yeah that's my recollection of the last time I subscribed also. A dedicated weekly highlights show would go a long way to convincing me to resub

I wouldn't be surprised if URC release a Hendrikse long range penalty compilation video at the end of the season
