Alright lads,
Any chance that anyone has, or knows anyone with a spare ticket going for this on Saturday? I'm short one ticket, and need it badly.

Standing, or Terrace, doesn't matter.

PM me if you have a one, and we can sort out collection etc.

Alright boss, you should pick one up on the day easily enough (try the Beggars etc.) They didn't fly out the door when they went on sale and the MRSC even got an allocation recently. For what it's worth, after the way the IRFU SC has been treated WRT Croke Park ticks I'm going to vote with my feet and watch on the box

Thanks Bangor.

I guess I would pick one up from the Beggars alright. I'm unwilling to pay more than face value so I'm probably not going to do that. If I had a spare one I'd sell if for face value, and I'd feel like a thick cunt paying more for it.

I unfortunatedly need a one before Saturday, or on Saturday itself, because if I don't get it then the person the ticket is for won't bother coming up until after the match.

Yeah, I get what you're saying. Try here (http://www.munsterfans.com/forum/default.asp), there may well be a ticket floating about. You might have to go to some far flung part of Limerick to get it though...

Thanks Bangor.
I'll try that. Limerick is fine, as she's from Limerick too so no problem collecting there.

Lansdowne Road, Dublin
Saturday, 11 November
Kick-off: 1700
Live: BBC2, Radio Ulster MW and BBC Online.
Ireland coach Eddie O'Sullivan has named Rory Best in his starting line-up for the first time for Saturday's Test against South Africa at Lansdowne Road.
The Ulster front row man, who has won four caps as a replacement, comes in for injured hooker Jerry Flannery.
Girvan Dempsey and Neil Best started Ireland's last game against Australia in June and their form sees them edge out Geordan Murphy and Simon Easterby.
"There was a lot of pressure for places," O'Sullivan told BBC Sport.
"Players were pushing for places throughout the side. It's a good competitive pressure for everybody and plenty of options on the bench as well."
Flanker Best came to the fore last season when he replaced the injured Easterby for the tour Down Under.
The Belfast-born Best turned in five-star performances when he started both games against New Zealand and the Wallabies.
Alongside the 27-year-old Best in a balanced Irish back-row is Denis Leamy at number eight and David Wallace at open-side.
Ireland's most-capped player Malcolm O'Kelly finds himself on the bench. He missed the summer tour after making his 80th appearance in the Triple Crown success over England.
Munster's Donncha O'Callaghan keeps his place beside his provincial colleague Paul O'Connell.
The only real issue for O'Sullivan in the backs was at full-back with Leinster's in-form Dempsey keeping his place ahead of Murphy.
Our win in 2004 was the first in nearly 40 years - so that's what we are up against
Eddie O'Sullivan
O'Sullivan, however, has not been tempted to make a change at half-back where Ulster's Isaac Boss is now pushing Peter Stringer for the number nine jersey.
Pundits are making Ireland favourites to chalk up only their third victory against the Springboks.
"I think we can get a bit carried away," said O'Sullivan. "South Africa won there last two Tests against New Zealand and Australia and it looks as if they will pick an enormous and physical side.
"All their back five are above 6ft 4in and they have also some very exciting young backs to throw into the mix.
"We cannot forget that we are playing against South Africa and our record is not exactly great against them. That win in 2004 was the first in nearly 40 years. So that's what we are up against."

Ireland: G Dempsey; S Horgan, B O'Driscoll (capt), G D'Arcy, A Trimble; R O'Gara, P Stringer; M Horan, R Best, J Hayes; D O'Callaghan, P O'Connell; N Best, D Wallace, D Leamy.
Replacements: F Sheahan, B Young, M O'Kelly, S Easterby, I Boss, P Wallace, G Murphy.
South Africa: tbc.
Referee: Paul Honiss (New Zealand).

She knows more about Rugby than I do, and has been to far more matches than I have.

She deserves the ticket. Got one anyway, so sorted.

Alright boss, not a bother. There were a few ticks floating about the board for the AIs. It's a good place to source them. Have a good one. I shall salute ye both from the comfort of my dry stool :-P
