On one hand it is a warm-up game but on the other it is against a full international side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) Secret courts for Leinster players now. 2 games for gouging. Half the ban of Skinner for a marginal high tackle. The TMO that night was a joke. Edited June 22, 2021 by Detournement 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 It is still under discussion apparently. On one hand it is a warm-up game but on the other it is against a full international side.As far as I remember the Lions game in Cardiff v Argentina was classed as a full test. Just looked it up and Argentina didn't award caps at the time (they had 26 players missing!) but no mention of what the Lions did. It was retrospectively given full test status by the IRB in 2008 though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a look on the ticket site tonight and the whole stadium is open. Tickets for my seats in S2 - which is in the least expensive category for Scotland games - are £130. Anyone paying that amount for a warm-up match between a select side and a tier 2 nation needs their head examined. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad the whole stadium is open rather than that pathetic one stand during the test event there in Aug last year. I heard that there were tickets from £87, but I don't know where those seats were. They weren't at the back of the West corners or in my corner, so it's not what's usually classed as Bronze. There must have been very few of them. Gold was £145, I don't know what Platinum was. There were only a handful of single seats when I looked this afternoon, so they've good-as sold out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then SRU emailed offering the same tickets but with a 50% price hike! Seemingly all the gold tickets were kept but moved down to lower class seats when the capacity was reduced - if anyone then cancelled they have offered the tickets back out at Gold prices 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingscot Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 There are a lot of single seats available too. The cost is utterly eyewatering. We have tickets for corners at Murrayfield but none our group are going to this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 To an extent, I can understand some people paying that price, given it might be their only chance to see the Lions. On the other hand, I think the total price for my Test tickets for all 3 games in 2013 was about £150, so f**k paying that for 1 game at Murrayfield! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
