Its a bit one sided. The home draw for the semi final significant.
Lucky in the GAA that we don't have home semi finals where blue teams can fill the stadium with their supporters and overawe the opposition.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Leinster not turning dominance into points and Byrne having a stinker off the tee. Could get interesting in the last 20

They'd a full 45 mins of pre match analysis for that game today.

No need. Just no need.

Not quite sure how Northampton are still in this. Leinster should be out of sight

Indeed. Saints shouldn't be in a position where a try would put the shits right up Leinster.

Another Leinster bottle job incoming?

the Dubs can't fill croke Park this time of the year after 14 in a row. Who is responsible for this?

Wow it almost was like the 2 finals against la Rochelle all over again. Leinster should be on about 35 PTS. Northampton should have been dead at half time. Byrnes misses from the tee were nearly fatal

The stadium is never going to be filled unless it's an AI final or at a stretch Dublin against either Mayo or Armagh in a semi final.
When has it ever been any different?
Croke Park has rarely ever sold out for anything but an All Ireland final. This isn't a new phenomenon.

Byrnes kicking for goal was a liability for Leinster today. They were lucky in the end as a result.

On the basis that Armagh have huge support.
