Great win for Munster. Finished with 7 Munster lads in the pack. Some good young players about too.
That’s not a Terenure blow in, that’s a thoroughbred Gicker.
Smashing kid and smashing family. As nice as you’d meet.
Currently somewhere between still in a hoop and entering regret-dominating hangover.
Celebrate the victories, they’re promised to none.

Just 29,000 tickets released for a semi final between the 2 biggest teams in Ireland is poor going.
82k at a game between the two in 09.
Just shows you what happens when you make a bollocks off the structures.
How did rugby get their structures wrong? League looks way stronger with South African team plus loads of games on Rte and Tg4.
I wonder could there be any other reason for the difference?
Way too many games and way too many knock out games.
Heineken cup was the carrot but they destroyed it. Group stage became a crazy structure and too many teams.
All the Munster Rugby fans are now Limerick GAA fans.
Do 29 thousand people even know it’s on?
Look at the six nations. Simple structure played at the same time every year. Throws at least one good game every weekend. 95 percent of tickets sold and it gets way more coverage than it arguably deserved.
If it moved to a home and away type competition from July to October on say Amazon prime than within two years the majority would forget about it.
Sometimes less is more.

Hands up how many lads here were at the 09 game?
You’re some man to pluck nonsense comparisons out of the air.
Put load of matches behind paywall and too many games

The structure of a competition and when it’s on Is massive for any tournament.
29k was decided upon before the outcome of the games were decided. The rental cost is tied to catering etc which they can’t turn around quickly unless they are willing to pay.
The Aviva Stadium needs to be used close to every week to be able to scale up to that degree. Otherwise you have to pay a lot more and have higher ticket prices.
