And that placed was packed to a health-and-safety nightmare
Left hand, right hand, it doesn't matter. I'm amphibious.
Re: Semi final
This is rubbish.
Both semi-finals must be played at a neutral venue with a capacity of 20,000 or more. The "home" team (in this case, us) gets home COUNTRY advantage (in this case, Ireland).
Now, ERC could send us to the RDS but it is too small, as is the Sportsground. Thomond is too far away, we'd be complaining. Therefore, by process of elimination, has to be Aviva.
Problem solved, thread over.

You haven't seen me at my best yet. Let's be honest, you probably never will.

Re: Semi final
Lads don't start worrying about the semi final just yet. More than a week until the QF, biggest game of the season by far. Start moaning and worrying about a semi final then, at least wait till Sunday the 8th at 5 o'clock.

How's that for loyalty to all the supporters
Gaz, you are new here so a gentle piece of advice. If you are going to get too indignant for words then at least know what you are talking about, otherwise you look like a chube.
Welcome by the way.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.
Semi final
The ERC pick the semi final venue.
Winner of the Munster Ulster QF will play the SF at Lansdowne Rd.
