Great rugby weekend ahead

Irish rugby fans are looking forward to a weekend of spectacular action. The eagerly anticipated Heineken Cup Semi Final between Leinster and Munster takes place in Croke Park on Saturday 2 May, in what is expected to be a world record attendance for a club rugby match. Irish titans Munster and Leinster will lock horns for the right to play in the Heineken Cup final.

The teams will be battling for a place in the finals in Murrayfield, while their fans will be battling to give their team colours dominance in Croke Park and in Dublin city with plenty of flags and banners on display.

There is very little to choose between both packs given recent form, and past form will count for nothing come Saturday’s kick-off.

It’s promising to be a great weekend, and not just because it’s a bank holiday!

Munster Champions of Europe

Munster became champions of Europe for the second time as they fiercely past Toulouse in the Heineken Cup final in Cardiff, the venue of Munster’s first triumph in the competition, back in 2006, and the Millennium Stadium was once again packed with army of passionate Munster fans.

After 78 games over almost seven months, it came down to the final between two of the most consistent teams in Heineken Cup history, Munster and Toulouse.

It was a victory built on Munster’s dominant pack and with the entire team defended superbly as Toulouse’s dangerous backs were almost completely smothered.

Well done Munster.
