    Does anybody know when home tickets for this game go on sale,or if they are on sale already?

    I'd love to know as I was at the Leicster game and thought it was brilliant.

    On another note did anybody see Shaggy's hit on Tuilagi?Its the best I've seen him play in a long time.

    season ticket holders will probably expect an email 3 weeks before hand with a ticketmaster link.

    How did you get your tickets for the Leicester game ?

    I doubt the French will travel in numbers, but there will be a lot of interest, especially if we do the business this weekend.

    I got a package with the tickets for the Leicster and Connacht games from the Leinster website.I was just lucky at the time,I was having a look the week the tickets went on sale and was able to buy them straight away.

    But I thought I could find out the dates they went on sale to save me having to check every day.If anyone finds out could they let me know?

    Thanks,Ronan

    SKY are not covering the match, only Canal+ in France, presumably because it is on at 8pm on Sunday evening.
    Does that not make it easier for RTE to pick up the feed???
    Is there a "highlights" programme on RTE late on Sunday ???

    There's some misinformation going round that they weren't going to be showing the French games, due to it not being in some schedule or something, but they certainly will be showing the Toulouse v Leinster game.

    Damn...looks like sky aren't covering the match. But Sky advertised it after last weekends games....:confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,985 ✭✭✭✭zAbbo


    WTF's all that about, like you said it was advertised after last weeks games...

    No one thought of checking the Leinster site?
    http://www.leinsterrugby.ie/index.asp?docID=1818


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 100 ✭✭Snarler


    The leinster site is old and they do get things wrong quite often. (Edinburgh game dates for example).

    The ECR site has it as Canal+ only.

    This is such crap. Not only do we have to pay to see the games now but Sky aren't even showing this game at all.

    Season ticket holders will tear a ticket out of their season ticket book :)

    All leinster games are sold on ticketmaster, but if you want a heads up first about stuff like this then join leinsterfans.com

    I suppose the smartest thing to do really would be to check the SkySports official TV listings for the day http://www.skysports.com/tv_guide/0,19953,11061_18-11-07,00.html. Coverage starts at 7.30. Panic over. Jesus lads you nearly gave me a heart attack there. ****in indo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 27,315 ✭✭✭✭phog


    With a 21:00 hrs (local time) start it was always going to be on Sky, I'd guess that was the reason for the late start.

    BTE, the ERC should get a kick in the ass for allowing a kick-off time like this on a Sunday evening, it's ok on a Friday is almost acceptable on a Saturday but for fans a late kick-off on a Sunday is a disgrace.

    From rte.ie: - http://www.rte.ie/sport/rugby/2007/1115/heinekencuproundtwo.html (bottom of page).

    NB: Rugby supporters should note that contrary to a story printed in a national newspaper on Thursday, Toulouse v Leinster will be shown live on TV in the UK and Ireland in the usual way.

    Thanks! Did a great job combined with RTE radio ;)

    Pity about the result... :(

    33-6 final score. What a disaster.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,958 ✭✭✭✭RuggieBear


    talk about shooting ourselves in the foot!

    Leinster as blunt as a hammer tonight never looked liked scoring and knows the critics can emerge to question whether the centre partnership of BOD and D'arc is the best in the world because again its been put in serious doubt tonight.

    On another note i wouldn't be surprised if thats the last kick off at 9.00 there will be in this competition with that amount of injuries, someones gotta file a complaint


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,266 ✭✭✭Junior


    Jesus Horgan couldn't buy a pass out there.

    what has the kick off time,got to do with injuries?


  • Subscribers Posts: 17,114 ✭✭✭✭copacetic


    very dissapointed with the decision making in last few minutes, when we make stuart barnes look like he is talking sense you know it was idiotic running out from own 22 with nothing to play for. Giving up such a soft bonus point try was hard to take.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,958 ✭✭✭✭RuggieBear


    some serious injuries too.

    Could have a huge bearing on the rest of the season for us.

    Willis has potential but he can be very wayward with his passing.

    Oh well...Looks like leinster will win all the home games and lose all the away ones this Hcup season.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,601 ✭✭✭Marshy


    Leinster really were a shambles in the second half after defending admirably in the first. Toulouse showed what they can do if you give them space and make errors.

    They didn't make any effort to prevent Toulouse getting the BP either. They tried running it from their own 22, real stupidity there. Not a game they'll want to be reminded of at all.

    Toulouse seemed to show their potential in parts. They've got so many quality internationals in the 22.

    I agree about the kick off time being wierd,but that rubbish that the kick off time affected injuries,do you think whitikers knee and dempseys ankle would have been ok if the match had kicked off at 3?:)the cold might affect hamstrings but not twisted knee's and ankles

    I love Stuey, even if he likes the sound of his own voice. Don't we all? :)
