read in the paper this morning that of the 28,500 at italy-wales yesterday only 10,000 were general public. anyone know if that's true or not?
the article in the spanish paper said that the majority of the tickets went to italina clubs and their players, staff etc, sponsors and guests.

I've seen the tries and I thought that it was another game. England were throwing the ball around and trying to play expansive rugby as opposed to trundling upfield with their forwards. |

There's nothing unusual in RU international tickets being distributed through clubs. |

Italy v France, 13:15
England v Scotland, 15:30
Wales v Ireland, 17:30
Crunch time. Do Ireland deserve to win the Grand Slam?

Bear with me here Vorderman...
Because a Wales win by 13 will reduce Ireland's points difference to +33, but increase Wales's to +34.
As the meerkat says - simples.
As to whether the Irish deserve a Grand Slam, it's a tricky one. They've been the most consistent of an inconsistent bunch this year. I still regard the Irish side - much like Munster - as being the purveyors of anti-rugby based on hammering the ball into the corners and minimising mistakes. They do what they need to win, but I'd rather that honour went to someone like the Welsh or French who actually attempt to play with some flair. |

Chairman of the RFU on Simon Mayo's show on BBC radio 5 live this afternoon.
I've just sent my question inSimon, could you ask Martin Thomas how he sees the present state and the future of club rugby considering the financial plight of some of the major clubs, the player drain to France and the calls for the salary cap to be raised.
Great show and good luck to Ireland this weekend.[/i
Look forward to hearing the answer tonight when I get back from work on the listen again service.

Not necessary. Simon Mayo has just asked him 'How do you see the present state and the future of club rugby?'. I know Mayo is a big rugby fan, but would it have been so difficult to actually ask him the whole question I sent?
The RFU chairman, Martin Thomas just reeled out Television figures and the fact that Harelquins sold out earlier in the season  |

If they finish top yes.
I do not think Wales have been a patch on last season and Gatland must have been tearing his hair out that they have taken a backward step but to be still in with a chance at this stage is probably more of a sad reflection on England and Scotland than anything else.
It will be tight and although Wales might just edge it I think it will be close enough to give Ireland the title.
