A golden Saturday in the RDS provided us with one of the most enjoyable days in the Rugby Calendar – Ladies Day
Representatives of the Leinster Supporters Club were out in force to ensure they delivered a day to remember and the fans certainly didn’t go home disappointed.
I spoke to Gordon D’arcy who stressed the importance of the community aspect that drives this Leinster Province. Proof of this was plentiful as many fans regaled me with stories of how D’arcy and team Leinster have supported so many hard luck causes and supported those less fortunate.
The feeling of goodwill about the day was reinforced by the fan interaction and banter on the terraces. Vital Magners League points were up for grabs but hell or high water everyone was going to enjoy the day out.
Connacht fans were approaching Rugby Nirvana as they stared down the barrel of a second Leinster scalp of the year. This Connacht team now have massive strenght in depth as they stormed the Leinster Fort all day long despite starting the match with the likes of Cronin, Keatley, Troy and Swift on the bench and talismanic captain John Muldoon out injured. Leinster for their part could boast their own absentee list but like Ali in Zaire in 1974 they hung on the ropes all day before Sexton delivered the knockout blow in the cruelest of circumstances!!!!
