Usually it is Communions that keep the punters away from Thomond.
I had a ticket to the game but had to pass on it because I wasn't born until the following year.

There's talk of renaming the streets around Thomond after The Liginds of December '18. Parks, schools and shopping centres aswell. Conor Murray Drive. Stander Community Area. Keith Earls Primary School. Joey Carbery Shopping Mall.
JVG will never have to buy a pint in the province again etc etc

I heard they changing the chorus to 'no lie, The Fields of Athenry', lest there be confusion about the reference to any Leinster wingers.
Perhaps they will update that Guinness advert now. I should be dead by the time it reaches the screen at Christmas 2050! (Topped myself from watching the first one)!
"The one thing we learn from History, is that we never learn from History".
Pantomime is being planned for next Christmas.
James Lowe has been signed up to play Captain Hook with some of the Leinster players as his (motley) crew.
You can guess who will be playing the Peter Pan role.
Mirror, Mirror on the Wall who's the greatest player of them all? It is Drico your majesty.
