Why was Ireland being poor better?

Less rugby w**kers in pubs

And at the games. Used to a lot of genuine rugby fans who were involved with their local clubs pre the rebuild. Far more enjoyable but with success comes a bandwagon.

winning back to back 6 Nations championships is a pretty decent achievement and is worth celebrating.

Pretty mundane celebrations tbh. It just feels normal winning it at this stage if anything we threw away a 6N.

Great to wake up to another championship. Zombie on repeat in the pubs of Limerick last night. Hopefully munster can keep the show on the road in a few weeks

LEINSTER LEINSTER LEINSTER!

What a win and sets up a huge semi final in croker. Last time there was against Munster in 09 I think. Tickets should be too hard to get. The away team won't bring many.

Leinster completely dominated today. Gibson Park and Lowe are some players. Byrne at 10 had a great game too. Hopefully they go on and win it again this year now.

Jordie Barrett to Leinster for 6 months. Wow what a signing. Can pretty much play anywhere along the backline from 10 to 15. Not sure how they fit everyone in if all fit. Still tho be cool to see him in a Leinster shirt for a short while.

Fairly exciting! Good six nations cover as well, as good as you cos get. Feels very much a luxury signing though, not someone they need. Will put bums on seats though.

Ah feck it ya its defo a luxury signing but you need one or 2 of them every now and again. Plus its only for 6 months. Id like to see Osborne progress there but there will be enough games for all of them for 6 months. Be some backline if all fit though...fook me. Be class to see.

Excellent pricing structure announced for the Heineken Cup Semi Final at Croke Park. Tickets for The Hill are only €18 with Premium only €90.

They are gaurenteed a sell out at those rates. Incredible what having proper commercially minded people can do for an organisation

I thought €90 for a premium is excellent, especially given what rugby tickets for internationals can cost. Have to remember Croke Park premium is in a different league to Lansdowne's. Are Cusack premium tickets available? That side has been closed so far this year for renovations.

Still think tis a lot, but they will likely sell that level out. Will be hard pushed to sell the stadium out I would think. Having watched a rugby match from the Canal Lower, you see sweet FA!

All Hogan and Cusack €75. Be surprised if that sold out. Toulouse didn't last year at same prices.
