Heineken Champions Cup Semi Final: Saracens v Munster

[Leonormous Boozer]

Isn't it supposed to be a neutral venue but in the home country?

Leinster justify playing at the Aviva as it's not actually their home ground.

That was the old competition, the current one just requires a big enough stadium.

Wait this game was in Cov?
Could've gone to it.

FFS.

Your kind wouldn't be welcome in our stadium.
@TRF_Olyy be a lot more than 8'000 Munster fans when you account for the general sale I'd say.

Literally thought the same yesterday, haha.
Cov is horrible to get to though, driving or public transport, so I'll have to settle for Heaslips dulcet tones on channel 4 instead

Apparently Sarries sold a maximum 4,000 tickets.

Not bad that 3,999 more than usual.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Apparently significantly cheaper to buy direct from the stadium than from Saracens themselves, so the other 5 Sarries fans did that

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

£20 tickets.
Not in the area.

Talk is 15,000 attendance of a 32,000 capacity is a bit pathetic.

Honestly I don't like the "Neutral venue" stuff for the Semi's

Mind Cov seems like a BS call, Milton Keynes at least has a direct train.

Gotta imagine Wasps cut them a super sweet deal, due to their financial issues.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

The last time the rioch has this many empty seats it was Wasps playing..

Would've though rural Irish Catholics would cheer Billy's views tbh

 

[TommiG88]

If Munster can keep up this defence for the whole game. I will be thoroughly impressed

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Come home Mikey :'(



There's quite a lot of NW representation out there, Spencer Farrell Strettle etc

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Shame one of these teams have to be in the final.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

If I start complaining about how there's no space in the modern game cause offside isn't officiated do I turn into the "feed not straight" guy

They can't read.

God BT Sport is a sack of ****
Got it free with my new phone contract so decided to treat myself to the castable version

Except you can't cast the enhanced player (which they use for all rugby) and they don't give you the option of using the standard player on the app, only the website. So it's literally unusable.
Refund time.

You on EE?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

You on EE?

Yup

£10 a month just to cast an app is daylight robbery as it is.

If you make it more difficult to use legally than pirate no one is gonna do it.

 

[TommiG88]

Dodgy try, would like to see that again.
