Glasgow significantly outselling Leinster for their respective URC Semi-Finals, despite having one of the lowest average home crowds in the entire URC and not even playing in their own home city
A little embarrassing for Leinster…

As of this morning, Leinster had so far sold 11,200 tickets for Saturday's URC semi-final against the Stormers at the Aviva Stadium

@ClauzelCedric @mangorugby To be fair to them, a lot of their fans will have moved out to their yachts in Monte Carlo at this time of the year

@mangorugby To some extent, Leinster is a rather a plastic club, I don't find it to have much soul.

🇲🇽⚠️ Bad image for Mexico in front of the world...
🇯🇵 Japan’s national team reportedly faced poor conditions at Tigres’ facilities, which were rented for their World Cup preparations. 😬🏟️
👀 The situation reportedly escalated to the point where Japan was close to leaving the country.
🏟️ However, Rayados stepped in and will provide their top-class facilities, allowing Japan to continue their preparation under better conditions. ✍

@Caolan_Scully League should be finished before the euro finals

@Brendennel They have not really travelled well all season, so it's not a major surprise

Ah, lads. Really bad form to kick a man when he’s down.
Dublin Airport@DublinAirport
Lost on penalties. Obviously he is English after all.

@CorkGourmetGuy Ah yes, rush the young lad in and heap pressure on him. What could possibly go wrong. This has not happened only very recently 🤔

JJ to start and no Wood on the bench. McMillan had to do something unorthodox to give us a chance of causing an upset but he went with the safe option.
It's a win or bust game & he's chosen a "managed defeat" approach, proof he simply doesn't get Munster rugby.

@mangorugby Not really. Better facilities will attract more through the gates. Connacht a prime example
English

@moi_pseudo Outstanding tweet. And there's an element of truth to this. Massive difference in coaching between the two
English

@allTxs This is why he will fit in so well in Connacht. And I really hope he tears it up💪

Frawley has overtaken Crowley for the most disrespected player on the island.
If he got the amount of time/chances his provincial competition has been shown then he could be challenging for the international jersey.
Dave Moore@dave_or_chips
The harsh truth is that if Frawley was consistently that good he would have nailed the 10 shirt years ago. The reality is he hasn't been and that's why he's leaving. 40 good minutes after a game was lost doesn't change that fact. #LEIvUBB

@ClubHouseEnd88 @connachtrugby A gobshite here that doesn't realise we play on a 4G pitch
English

@connachtrugby Ye are going to make a show of the proud Irish tradition in the Heineken cup, muck all over players faces playing at the highest level of rugby simply isn’t good enough, to hell or to Connacht, hell I’d choose
English

@paulrusty @UlsterRugby You can give the playoffs a good run. Going in as the form team. Give it a lash.
English

@rava_ian @UlsterRugby Ideally what should have happened is ye won tonight and we won the league 😁
English

@paulrusty @UlsterRugby Connacht rightly in the Champions Cup.
You’ll be hoping to avoid Montpellier though.
Very strong squad.

Fantastic battle in Leinster Minor Football Final! @KildareGAA & @MeathGAA are level after extra time. Credit to every player involved. It’s going to penalties - I hate a team losing like this…
