Aviva Premiership 15/16 - Round 16

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Tickets should of been alot cheaper and been given away TBH.

IF AP wanted to make a splash in US need to splash the cash.

Stupid having this the same weekend as Canada 7s, any rugby fans willing to make a trip to a game would be more likely to head to that then Sarries 'A' vs the Not Nots


Edit:
Just turned it on, better crowd than I expected (from the one angle I've seen so far). They're definitely supporting Irish the most

 

[Irish boy]

We are defensively shocking but actually decent

judging by the team names it was always going to be the case.

London (my Grandad once saw a postcard of Dublin so that makes me) Irish

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Against Saracens as well of all the team names that might struggle with some of the american audience

Esp with the trump fans.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Wish this was a Wasps game instead.

Sarries could kick it a bit less please.

Crowd look like they're about to fall asleep

Vancouver and New York are five days apart by car so I doubt it affected anyone's decision making

That being a group in my section is already heading home

The Sarries affect.

Should of left it to the international games to draw in the crowds IMO.

Like the Ireland V NZ game coming up should get a good crowd and atmosphere.

I meant travelling fans - if you a big time rugby fan in North America and you're already travelling X amount of hours taking X amount of flights to see some rugby you're probably going to go to Vancouver instead of Sarries.
