Clontarf are battering your beloved Cork Constitution.

AIL final? I presume there’s at least 10k at it?

7615

Yep.

Doesn’t look like 10,000

7616

It’s the pinnacle of the club game, with one of the oldest clubs in the country. 10k at least i’d imagine.

Not fair to expect Cork’s merchant class to come to Dublin on a sunny Sunday when there is a lovely Sunday to be sent sailiing around Crosshaven .

I see they are trying to flog tickets for the biggest game in European club rugby days before the game starts.

They could get from Claremont to Edinburgh by train if they were arsed.

That’s laughable. You’d swear it was on in Moscow or something.

If ever proof was needed that the Irish media over-hype the importantance of this competition it will be the sight of empty seats in Murrayfield today.

Those Saracens players on the British Lions squad had to spend last Monday, five days before the supposed biggest game of the European season, getting fitted for suits and getting their picture taken.

A Limerick man using suit fitting as a jibe at another sports team or sport - really?

Mac very defensive when rugby is slated once again.

He is nonplussed about rugby though.

I think most rugby fans are in absolute agreement that a half empty stadium for the European final is a farce. A cursory search of Twitter should clarify same. And outline many of the reasons why they have made an absolute bollocks out of the latter stages of the competition since the restructure

7628

What time is it on? Who’s in the final?

7629

How have they made a bollocks of it? Is it not the same as it used to be?

They should downsize to a 25,000 seater stadium.

Easter Road would have been a better option.

They have moved the date of it forward two or three weeks so knock out stages run off in much shorter timeframe now. And given final to Scots in exchange for supporting the restructure. Scots wouldn’t fill it if two Scottish teams in final

Agreed
