Dman,
I can't log into btid at the moment. Not sure if anyone got back to you about the chance of a lift, but I'd say there's no chance unfortunately. There's only one fella that drives back to Dublin immediately after the match, but he can't make it on Friday. I stay down with the parents on the Friday night (they think it's for their benefit that I'm home once a fortnight

).
As I'm sure you're aware, there are no trains or buses back after the match (what kind of a country do you think this is, eh?) so you'd have to stay overnight if you're going by public transport.
If that's the case, forget about the 4pm bus. Friday traffic and stopping in every village and hamlet means that you wouldn't make it to the RSC for kick-off. The 2.30 bus would have you down by 6. Also, do you know the Rapid Express/JJ Kavanagh buses? They go from Ulster Bank, George's Quay (opposite the Custom House) at 1.15, 3.00, 4.15. I often get the 3 o'clock which gets you down between 6 and 6.30. From the city centre, you have the choice of a bus, taxi or 15 minute walk to the RSC.
