The Stadio Flaminio is going to be "upgraded" from the current 24,000 capacity scaffolding monstrosity into a much nicer, safer and less sea-sick prone 42,000.
IRFU officials weren't availible for comment on questions about why the Italians are able to build a stadium almost as big as the new Lansdowne Road at the fraction of the price using metal poles.

In all seriousness, I went to see Italy vs France last year and the Stadio Flaminio is in dire need of some TLC. The north and south stands are basically covered in scaffolding to get those extra people in and when the wind blows the whole thing sways from side to side.
Simply put, if you're going to see your team play Italy and your ticket says "curva nord" or "curva sud" then I beg of you don't go on a bender the night before because you will be sick.
If they do update the Flaminio then I hope they don't get rid of the guys selling beer out of bath tubs outside, they're special and awesome.
