Neil,
I checked the virtual tour for section U9 & figured out its the upper sction half way line in the east stand (the one facing tv cameras).
From what i've been able to figure out L6 is probably near corner flag on north end of the east stand i.e. left corner flag as looking from tv camera.

That make any sense?

Anyone else want me to find their seat? ;)

I hope so as i'll be sitting above you on or around the halfway line. ;)

btw corner can be good spot in rugby as thats where the tries usually scored.

Is it the south ones that are unlucky? Didn't some feng shu fella sort it out?

Wasn't there a welsh cup final or something on there last weekend - anyone know what dressing room the winner had?

:eek:

That unlucky dressing room thing ended in the english play-offs - i think it was stoke city who won even though they had the 'unlucky' southern dressing rooms. it might only have been a football (soccer not rugby) thing anyway

All i can say about saturday is........what a superb stadium!!!!! Munster Rugby provides some of the best rugby atmnosphere around but can only imagine the atmosphere created with the roof closed on a football match.

Didn't see the Neil Back "incident" on the big screen at the time & they didn't show on any sports news highlights i've seen since but if this is what he thinks is rugby professionalism he is deluded. IMO Neil Back commited the equivalent of a dive to get a penalty in football. Even in he comments since he hasn't said he sorry to do it & seems to be saying he did what he had to win.

Neither Munster or Leicester played well on the day but Leicester shaded it cos they scored 2 tries - only for Neil Back i wouldn't deny them their win.

:(

what i dont get is the fact that lecei$ter were holding out well against the munster attacks in those last 5 minutes so why Neil Back saw fit to do that knowing it would be picked up on camera if not by the ref or touch judge is beyond me

and as for all the stupid bar talk about munster should have getting a penalty try..what a load of toss, to get a penalty try you must in the eyes / opinion of the ref have been almost certain to score a try only to have been prevented doing so by a succession of foul means..
munster were camped there for 5 mins and made very littlle if no progress from 10 meteres from the line in..


anyways i really ****ing hate leceister even more now
