Forum to enable fans to provide help and tips on travel arrangements to away matches, as well as for opposition fans travelling to the Irish capital for matches.
Do heed the advice of getting to the ground early though. According to a french forum the last time a rugby match was played there it was a nightmare.
Packed trams & over zealous security people .
Hopefully it will go smoothly on Saturday & you'll find yourself in the awfull situation of having to partake in a beer while you wait!
Terrible , I know, but better than missing the match

I was at the dinner table and MEANT to say to my wife.... "pass the salt" but I ACTUALLY said
"ya ruined me life, ya fat mess"
Funny how that can happen.....
Heavens to betsy I really have been over here too long!
I'm losing all my english language skills
Now would your phrase be considered a pleonasm or an oxymoron?? or something else altogether???
PS @ DonnyB, Officially MHRC say ticket sales are going pretty well & forums back that up. There will most likely be a few empty seats come saturday but not enough to take away from the atmosphere

Whats the deal with the beer?
HCup final in Paris had no beer.
Mmm remember that. Had a couple of pints at stade de france and was wondering why the Munster fans behind me were sniggering away. Then looked at Buckler glass and the penny dropped. Suspect that the French have a problem with beer -hence all references to HCup. Expect non alcoholic beer only at the game.

I'm not so sure about there only being non-alcoholic beer at matches. I was in Toulouse for the semi-final last year and had a few pints at the stadium before and after the game, there was definitely alcohol in it.

We were at that game too.......I normally drink Guinness so was really wondering why on earth the mates all drank this p1ss regularly...then the penny dropped. The Stade de France is a dry stadium someone explained to me at the time, never checked that out since actually-is this correct anyone?
We had enough beer in Montmartre before/after that particular match in any case!
OLSC just tweeted saying there are a small number of tickets for Saturday available for €37 (for anyone going over who doesn't have one presumably). . .email tickets@leinsterrugby.ie

Most likely overpriced H
Talk of a "bodega" --- (big tent with bar) under the open air stand pre & after match.

The club have made efforts to fill the ground. All season ticket holders are allowed buy 2 tickets for the price of one . They had to really as the ticket prices are double what you'd pay for a league game making it way too expensive . People are feeling the pain here too .
.
I know there's a term for it in english, freudian slip maybe? Can't remember
