That’ll pay for the new stand I suppose.

I'm very hesitant to be any way happy about that. What's in it for CVC?

Exactly. What we might see is all rugby with CVC involvement might get packaged together into a single tv package, which might actually be a good thing.

That would be brilliant, getting just one sport means not having to subsidise other sports, the dream is something like nfl pass.

Has anybody heard anything from Leinster about the STH draw for 6 Nations tickets? It was supposed to take place last Friday but I haven’t even gotten the usual email to say that I’ve been unsuccessful.

Got a couple of tickets V Italy so I assume finished

I've tickets for the game on Saturday. My first visit to the Rds for a rugby game. Any advice on parking. We are coming on the N4 from the west. Thanks.

Can I just thank the posters who gave me much needed advice about my trip.
Also the PMs which were invaluable. You know who you are.
Enjoyed the match. Locals were very friendly to be honest. First half the atmosphere was a little flat. A bit like the Leinster performance.
Second half was more like it Good atmosphere and Leinster cranked things up a notch.

Overall. Good day out. Leinster will play much better. Treviso were good. A lot of people not giving them enough credit IMHO. The officiating was poor.

Parked my Massy 135 and turf trailor on Anglesea Road. Created a bit of chaos. At least my sheepdog kept the locals at bay for the duration. Long drive back mind.

Was thinking of you and the wax jacket jokes when a couple of utter gobsh!tes in, you guessed it, wax jackets made an appearance on the terrace. Never seen before, possibly never to be seen again (one can only hope). Roaring at players that passed by on a first name basis like they knew them all. Shouting "pendulum James" at Lowe everytime there was a loose ball. It was everything the stereotype describes and it was horrible to bear witness to. And it's all your fault for mentioning wax jackets.

Its your own fault. If you don't like how they behave, you should stop bringing your family to matches.

Four goys behind me (they aren't regulars but they would go to HC games), spent the whole match yacking at high volume about everything but the game. It started with the confirmation of an acquaintance being a "Google Ambassador" and went rapidly downhill from there, through various discussions on investments and career opportunities. I wanted to rip my ears off.

Treviso much better than most match reviews gave them credit for I thought.

I will never forget my first visit to the sportsground.. in amongst leinster fans... and had 4 or 5 of those tossers SENDING pints and cackling throughout... one actually turned to a female friend (gf?) and actually said these words aloud...... "hush woman, man talk".... i **** you not !!!

embarrassed to be sharing club colours with the likes of that that day.

im a midlander in case theres any confusion

Do women in the midlands already know to be hush?

So even Leinster fans find Leinster fans insufferable?

You'll find Leinster fans from outside the pale are brought up to hate clubs/schools from inside the pale with a fury that other provinces could never dream of matching or appreciating. We're not entirely sure how to handle northsiders yet, mind.

We handle northsiders exactly how we've always handled them. Put them in the Joy. It hasn't failed yet. Transporting to Connacht stopped working when they took up rugby over there.
