Munster rugby can’t continue to ignore Cork and Waterford stadia

I write this letter in bewilderment at the state of Munster Rugby today. A team with real potential, they need support but unfortunately the bulk of the supporters don’t live in the city where the team has been decreed to play their games.

The building of the prime rugby venue of the province in Limerick was a flaw. I had to laugh when I read the attendance figures at Thomond Park recently for a Pro 12 game — 13,000. Now the strange thing about that was that the stadium to me looked very empty. Clearly there’s an issue with the computer system totting the numbers coming through the turnstiles.

It would serve all of Munster well if all the Pro 12 league games were moved to Cork and, may I say it, some to Waterford as well.
