Ireland player not too happy with the atmosphere. Student section which I thought they still had would help. General sale and cheaper tickets or at least more distributed to rugby clubs outside Dublin would help.
Rugby has so many "regulars" at this stage that have no interest in atmosphere they'd have to lock out lads who have been going for years to create that. Wouldn't be popular. You saw at the WC the type of noise gets created when you do general sales, albeit that was an away game which as we all know tends to have better atmosphere

I also think a one sided game (where nothing less is expected), on Sunday at 3pm is less likely to generate an atmosphere. I agree that it would be helpful to make things more accessible, but I doubt the Italian home matches are likely to be the pinnacle of atmosphere for the foreseeable future.

How many lads over 16 but under 30 are at a rugby game I would say very few. You need a decent amount from
That age profile to get good atmospheres.

Because the toughest game came on the opening night of the tournament and we won, it almost feels like a foregone conclusion that we will stroll the rest of the tournament.

I was only half watching it in the background, but even I noticed that the atmosphere seemed very flat.

Ireland would need to slip up vs Wales to make the tournament interesting again.

Having gone to a few egg chasing internationals with work down through the years, I'd argue the biggest atmosphere killer is lads constantly getting up during the game going to the bar. I thought the same when they temporarily allowed it during covid for our game against Portugal. 

I think he's angling for a singing section like what we have behing the goal. Won't work for rugby. Different demographics

And like the football games, even having a singing section doesn't save the atmosphere when it's just a match just doesn't have that much riding on it because it's an easy win or a friendly.  

I don't get the big panic, Italy is always a routine win. Watching at home I also wasn't on the edge of my seat compared to what you would be with a game that is going to be close, I.e. the France game away.....until it became obvious that game was also now a hammering.

Way too many mistakes today. Similar to New Zealand match. You can't make that many mistakes and expect to win the toughest matches.
