  • The first semi final in the 2024 Investec Champions Cup will be played at Croke Park in Dublin this Saturday between hosts Leinster and visitors the Northampton Saints.
    Both teams have won all of their games in this years competition. Yet if we look back over the past 10 games between the two sides, Leinster has a healthy lead of 9 wins to 1.
    In this episode of Inside Rugby I take a look at both sides, give my prediction for the game and then ask you to give me yours.

    Yep I'm there tomorrow..SO excited. Love Northampton's style of play and have been deeply impressed by Fin Smith....such maturity! But I am hoping our forwards are all over their forwards like a rash and think if we are then we will win for sure. But anything can happen and hope both sides play to their best.
    CMON LEINSTER!

    Its simple really. An English team is playing an Irish team in a stadium which is intrinsic to the Irish identity and where Irish civilians were murdered by British troops. I expect a huge Leinster performance.

    Congratulations to Leinster I predicted a close game . Semi finals are harder to win than finals Leister did tire a bit & now have a lot of injuries & a lot more to do . All the best in the final . Great win in the end . A sell out Crime Park did help to keep the visitors quiet , well done to the fans they did there part .

    Northampton have no option but to slow down the Leinster ball at the breakdown. The loss of Lewis Ludlum to injury is a real blow in that regard. But, Courtney Lawes has the ability to throw a spanner in the works if he can lead his pack the way he did against Munster in Thomond Park. The Saints have a chance if they can keep the score line down.

    Rugby is not often played in Croke park,the stadium is owned by the Gaelic athletic association who promote the traditional sports of the country Gaelic football ,hurling,Gaelic rounders and gaelic handball,but mostly Gaelic football and hurling both of which fill it at least once a year for the finals,rounders is not really played there as the fan base doesn't really justify it but its a vibrant and enthusiiastically played sport and Handball has its own stadium next to croke park not very big of course as the court is small.
    its every irish sportspersons dream to play their however if you are a rugby player the last time was in 2009 and many players have retired so the leinster players will be very pumped and as the AVIVA holds only 51000 its a chance to experience a much larger.
    You made an unfortunate faux pas however others have mentioned that i am just giving a bit of context as to why its a big deal that others have not mentioned
