Leinster out to heal Champions Cup trauma; and is Aviva Stadium fatigue creeping in?

About this episode

The episode discusses Leinster's upcoming Champions Cup semi-final and the potential fatigue from playing at Aviva Stadium.

During the week, it was announced that Leinster’s Champions Cup semi-final with Toulon had sold 30,000 tickets. Now, closer to kick-off, that figure is likely to rise, but it is notable that on the week of a big European game, there were still 20,000 seats available. Gerry Thornley joins Nathan Johns to chat through why this may be - is there an Aviva fatigue with Leinster calling the stadium home for two years now during the RDS development? We also preview the on-pitch action as Leinster face the French side while Ulster welcome Exeter in the Challenge Cup semi-final. Produced by John Casey. Hosted on Acast.
