The parts that matter ;-)

I haven't looked forward to international rugby league this much in a long time.

Hopefully these good crowds materialise.

Dare I ask... How is the weather forecast for the opening week's games?

Dry at around 14C. The roof will make it a bit cooler though!

The West, East and North Stands are sold out and fans are advised to move quickly to secure the remaining tickets.

How are tickets to the games in Ireland selling? I haven't heard too much thought reading/hearing great crowd numbers in the other host countries

Not that well to be honest. Looks like they are only selling camera facing seats and about 40% of those have been sold. About 4000-5000 I reckon.

thats a great attendance for ireland

 

[Diesel]

Those numbers are a little low. Hopefully there will be a good walk up crowd in Ireland.

I'm surprised Dublin or Cork weren't chosen to host the game, why was Limerick chosen?

There'll be a fair few Aussie supporters in Ireland so still time to crack the 10k mark... Hopefully

 

[Heritage XIII]

Apparently Limerick city council bid for a game so they got the nod.

 

[Springs]

Limerick is often called the home of rugby in Ireland.

 

[kiwileaguefan]

45,000 for the opener

Tickets selling well now in Perpinya. At 2 weeks out it should sell out.

If the kangaroos are seen to be playing in front of an empty stadium the press here will have a field day and hammer the tournament, apart from that prospect it has been largely positive from the papers and TV with the odd exception including identities like rabs warren
