Scaaaaaaaaaaaaaalets in a Fever

The Welsh eh? A shameless shower of sheepshagging shitbags - I do love a bit of alliteration.

Read this and chuckle at the state of these overtly ovineloving oaves.

How does a double derby count? Surely it should be divided by 2 to give a true value.

[Wee Woman]

Let them have their utterly meaningless little stat. They'll be back to their usual whining about how sh1t our Mickey Mouse league is within days

Bless their precious little cotton socks

Is there anybody more hateful than the Welsh?

Is there anybody more hateful than the Welsh?

I'm not sure, but if there are I'd guess they might be close neighbours/owners.

The Welsh are just unfortunate wannabe west English. More to be pitied than scorned.

What's the big deal..? It is still a bigger crowd than the Super Duper cup final will be and anything that boosts Pro12 attendances is a good thing IMO.

Who the flip are Pro Rugby Wales? What happened to the equally as made up RRW?

I once ( like Russ) had an " encounter " with a Welsh bird.......brad pitt shag, but she bought e a kebab for my troubles

There is no disputing the fact of the crowd size Mike, what is interesting is that you got 2 games for £10, now that is how you get a crowd in Wales. The Saracens Way is alive and well over Offa's Dyke.

Rent-a-Crowd'R'Us apparently were looking after the ticketing arrangements. If you tried the same stunt at the Aviva you would have to price it around €100 or more to discourage interest.

Divide that by 4 and why have they not got about 13k at each home match on average ? once they work out how to do that they can get excited, if you add up each sides last home crowds you get the grand total of 24,567 so they must have got an extra 25k slappers in on Saturday

I think the one thing it confirms to me is the shame that the biggest rugby stadium capacity in Ireland just isn't big enough. If we couldn't have got a 70k capacity stadium at Landsdowne Road we should have build one somewhere else.
I also think we should be considering having a 'Judgement Day' interprovincial weekend and you could have had loads of fans attending both games.

It won't happen with Leinster's current arrangements with the RDS. Leinster must play 12 regular season home games at the RDS and that means they can play 2 home games in the Aviva. In recent years they have played Leinster v Munster and a prime Euro pool game at the Aviva. If Leinster gave up an Aviva home game for a double header then they would be giving up 100% of the gate for 50% of the double header gate.

It wouldn't make sense for Munster or Ulster to give up a home game as they would make more money playing at home than 50% of the Aviva less rental costs so the only team it would benefit would be Connacht.

Sorry I didn't phrase it correctly, I mean a Judgement Day weekend as in one match on Saturday and one on Sunday.

Munster fans haven't enough money to go to Dublin anymore

Sad reality since 2008
