Heineken Cup 2007/2008 Thread

We were playing a stones throw from the Ricoh and you could here nothing which everyone thought was odd, when Cov City are playing you can usually hear the crowd, surprised at the empty seats I was told that there wasnt a snowballs chance in hell for tickets

Nothing like the wasps semi (best losing event ever) or any of the finals. I have been following Munster for last ten years or so and just didnt get same buzz from match.

A double header in Twickenham on Saturday would have been better occasion.

Yeah, it was certainly more down key than normal, but still decent I thought. Wasps was a savage game as well, which helped the atmosphere. The buzz at the Leinster game was the best I've seen, and yesterday fell way short of either of them.

I'm sure Cardiff will be rocking though

I was impressed with a depleted Toulouse.

Munster showed that they can win a game with O'Gara and a scrum half doing their level best to lose it.

Toulouse to reclaim the crown

[Hoof Hearted]

anyone else going to cardiff ?

[AZOffaly]

We'll try anyway. I refuse to book tickets for the final before they've qualified, because I'm superstitious like that. That immediately puts me behind the 8 ball because half of Munster buys them from ticketmaster very early on.

[Hoof Hearted]

if last season is anything to go by, the whole of munster buys them early. i know a man who was at last years final at twickenham and he said it was munster out of a face !!
i got 2 tickets for a xmas present and i was hoping munster would be there as a bonus so now i cant wait.
wouldnt mind meeting up with a few "real "rugby supporters like the boys who post here.

[Tankie]

Ah the Munster bandwagon is in full motion again. great stuff, all the boys in the rugby club who aint been at a game all year are all chuffed too as they got tickets before christmas too. The Brave and the Faithfull all the way 

[AZOffaly]

Not quite true Tankie. Most of the people I'm talking about go to loads of games but bought their tickets early in the hope that Munster would qualify. I'm afraid to do that because I'll jinx them.

I'd say buying tickets that early is actually an indication of being 'Faithful'

[Tankie]

I would have said Brave
