Anyone know if it's free in for ST's?

It was free into home BIC matches. Have sent them a tweet asking if it's free for the new comp too. Will report back when I get an answer.

It's pretty poor on Leinster Rugby's behalf, that they could not have told us in the letter with the Season Ticket, that Celtic Cup games are either free in to STH's, or a charge would be made, rather than all the shite flowery prose that was in that letter. They could have used the latest e-mail to advise STH's of the policy with regard to the upcoming Celtic Cup matches. No joined up thinking.

nothing new there.

Doesn't look like it is free entry for ST's for this game as they seem to be pushing free entry for the Womens match later.

Got to attempt I'd be disappointed if that's going to be the case going forward. A big part of my purchasing the ST was for access to the A games

No team news yet is suprising.

I wonder will we be seeing Luke McGrath as 9 (and probably captain) for this game.

Have we any other 9s apart from Patterson who could line out here?

Sub academy 9's - Cormac Foley the most likely probably, but James Kenny & Louis O'Reilly there too I believe.

Some decent players in that backline. Fish, James and McShingler all have decent experience.

Aungier is lining out with Terenure this year, from what I've heard.

Interesting looking team. Happy seeing Jack Kelly at fullback – I've a feeling that he might settle this year and we could start seeing performances closer to his potential.

[johng]

Jaysus. 40 people in donnybrook.

Missed the first half as I thought it kicked off at 2.

In the first 7 mins of the 2nd half we have mauled them over the line from half way and harry Byrne has done a Ross impression by cross kicking for Adam.

Converted both also. 45 nil

[johng]

Hawkshaw on for harry now. Plus I missed penny as he was subbed at ht

[johng]

Scrum has disintegrated. Cardiff milking them for penos

Finally yields them a score after Michael Milne binned
