Ticket touts seek boom-time rates for England clash

There might be a recession but it hasn’t stopped ticket touts seeking boom-time prices for the Ireland-England rugby clash this weekend.

The eagerly awaited Six Nations match on Sunday is already being billed as this year’s championship decider following victories by both teams in their opening games last weekend.

And ticket sellers haven’t been slow to try to cash in on the huge interest generated by the meeting of the two favourites in this year’s tournament.
