    I think there's seven altogether. I was at a heineken promotion recently were you had to spot all of them to get a prize. I got 4 which i think was the highest of the night

    I've been keeping an eye on it the last number of times.

    I've found references to Leinster (
    RDS Bar
    ), Munster (
    Les Champs d'Athenry sign
    ), Ulster & Connacht (
    Together as ball bounces thru alley their crests are spotted above shops
    ) as well as Toulouse (
    Truck Reg
    ) and Racing Metro (
    "92" in blue on the wall
    )

    There's also Llanelli (
    The sign above the truck
    )

    Indeed, Athenry is in Galway!

    However... Connacht's crest is
    in the alley along side the Red Hand of Ulster
