I'm guessing one of them Munster teams is actually Ulster.

Otherwise that's just unfair :lol:
Ulster playing the Scarlets on Saturday :wink: Slight tweek to the format this year with only one league and top 2 in final etc.

Scarlets A at home next 5:30pm on Saturday at Donnybrook. They lost in Wales last week to Ulster A 32-35.

Anyone know what the story is with tickets? Would proof of next season's season ticket be enough? Or would we even get away with last season's?

Looks like anyone who went to Canada last week is currently on a break so a similar enough side this weekend to last?

Thanks LL!

Yeah that looks fairly definitive but sometimes they only mention it when the team is announced. I realise this sounds like I'm a tight b$&%@#d (I'm really really not!) but it's less appealing to rush to Donnybrook after the Ireland game if it's not free :lol:

Donnybrook is providing both Catholic and protestant access to the Ireland game beforehand. :)

You might even escape paying in.

Btw, just got a definite answer from Leinster - Season Tickets no longer allow access to A games!

I gotta say, I think that sucks!

Twas a major reason for me purchasing the ST every year as the A games (especially during the B&I cup days) where often easier for me to get to with the kids.

Disappointing!

Thanks, Xan. Yeah I agree LL, just seems a bit unnecessary. The stand is usually less than half full and there's only ever a handful people in the rest of the ground so not sure how much money they're going to make from this given that the crowds will go probably go down. Would it not be better to prioritise a half decent support than a small amount of money? If there are minis supposed to play at HT then it'd be a bit sh!t for them if there's nobody there.

I have a vague recollection of a game where the announcement said you had to pay but then I was just waved through (it might have been that you could get into the ground for free but had to pay for the stand) at some stage and then they changed it for the next game. So maybe a terrible crowd or a few comments about it would force a rethink.

Well I was going to go over with the youngest fella and watch the Ireland match in Bective and then wander in for the A game but on a point of principal I think I'll give it a miss.

Edit: I'm sure I'll be missed :lol:

Rumour has it that Mick Dawson has prorogued the Seanad in order to get this over the line.
