Rugby:The remaining 3,000 tickets for Leinster's Heineken Cup quarter-final were snapped up in less than an hour after going on general sale this morning. The match against Leicester at the Aviva Stadium is now sold out.
Leinster season-ticket holders were offered first refusal on seats last week and with Leicester choosing to take up their full allocation of 12,500, just 3,000 tickets were made available today.
Those went on sale at 10am this morning but the sold-out signs were in place less than an hour later. April’s match, a repeat of the 2009 final, will attract some 51,500 fans to the Dublin arena.
Joe Schmidt, meanwhile, has been able to call upon the services of a number of Irish Wolfhounds as he prepares for the visit of Aironi to the RDS on Thursday night.
With the Wolfhounds brief campaign now at an end, players such as Isaac Boss, David Kearney, Eoin O’Malley and Dominic Ryan have been made available.
While all their frontline internationals are still on Ireland duty, Schmidt may also have Devin Toner and Kevin McLaughlin at his disposal.
