What's crazy here is that they, for the most part, were always there. Prendergast just had forward pods in midfield and then a one man forward carry.

If it wasn't for Nankivell trying something every now and then it would have been worse.

Really excited though to see what Macmillan has them doing and specifically what he does with Nankivell.

Only terrace tickets remaining for Munster’s clash with Gloucester at Páirc Uí Chaoimh

This will be Munster’s first competitive game at the Leeside venue since their sellout victories over a South Africa XV in 2022 and the Crusaders in 2024.

Tickets selling well for the Gloucester European Cup match in PuC, looks like it'll be a sell out. Hopefully encourage more matches there.

Taking the youngest to their first Munster game for it.

The excitement levels are off the charts

Cork supporters need to vote with their wallets.

Say no to travelling up through traffic on that death trap of a road to stab city just to sit in an open air fanny

Is there an economic incentive for Munster to play more games there if the crowds are so much bigger than Thomond, or is offset by the cost of renting the stadium?

Always wondered that with Ireland and croke park as well

It's more than offset, i believe.

It's more than offset, i believe.

So they're losing money?

No, but i remember an interview with one of the suits where he said they make less money on a full PUC than a full Thomond.

Like a lot less or a bit less? Does it factor in the cost of owning and maintaining a stadium?

It might have a positive impact in terms of Munster memberships in Cork, jersey sales etc. If all the big games were just up in Limerick then the casuals here would just lose interest and move on
