Minimum capacity for European champions cup rugby 1/4 finals is 15k. Could well be the same for Challenge Cup
 
How would Llanelli have managed if they got there or is PYS 15000. I just cant see that many being at the Principality even though tickets are only 10/5 a lot of fans go to both football and rugby.

I see the Ospreys fans are pissing their pants over their Challenge cup1/4 final has had to be moved to the Principality as it clashes with our game with Middlesbrough. I didn't know there was a hierarchy down there but it seems the swans have first pull or could that be sky.

Whilst their whinging is deafening, I have a lot of sympathy for the Ospreys as a club and players having to move their game to a stadium that holds 70000 plus when they cant fill a 20000 it is going to be empty and also losing home advantage. But unfortunately **** happens. It isn't going to change just have to get on with it.

They're used to playing in empty stadiums!
 
How do people think the Lions will go? I live in NZ and the general consenus here is that it's a weak squad that will struggle to win ANY games. But that goes without saying with the majority of all blacks fans anyway.
I'm hoping they can at least be competitive this time as opposed to 12 years ago, wouldn't it be nice to go into the third test at 1-1?
A lot of people making a big deal of Ben Te'o being picked, not like the all blacks have ever used any players born in a different country is it??

Where in NZ do you live Kwame? NZ is top of my bucket list of things to do in the next 10 years.

The Lions and Warrenball will get hammered and I agree with the consensus that the Super15 sides will beat the midweek teams too. I see them winning, at best, 2 games and hopefully Gatland won't come back.
 
I'm in Auckland, Valley, so at least three Lions games here, 2 tests and a match against the Blues. The schedule does look incredibly challenging, just doesn't seem feasible, the midweek game/test match relentless slog against sides that will be well up for destroying them.

Keep the faith guys.

Wales did ok in the first 2 Tests last year, but "blew up" in last 20 or so mins. Strength off the bench was not there last year. The Lions will have a much superior bench of "finishers" <cheers>

But they have a very one dimensional, outdated coach in Warren Gatland.

It will be crash ball, crash ball, crash ball. You talk about finishers, there'll be nothing to finish with Howley as backs coach ;)

Lions will get destroyed.
 
The All Blacks are outstanding & the build up matches are daunting but the combo of the English & Irish could see us spring a surprise....
