The IRISH RUGBY thread

[Baile Brigín 2]

It's been reported on most sports sites. Munster failing to get too far these days results in fewer and fewer bumper home crowds in the knockout out stages of Europe and the URC means less and less money. There is also the unique situation that they have to service 2 stadia instead of 1 that only adds to costs

Sports sites. The point being not the rugby press corps.

This isn't getting the same urgency the FAI's financial issues got, and the general IRFU financial issues definitely aren't.

I think Munster rugby issues are far deeper than poor crowds.

Ulster struggling to hold onto their own ball and error prone. Leinster pressure is paying off.
