No Croker approach yet for H-Cup

The ERC have not yet approached the GAA about the possibility of using Croke Park for a potential Leinster v Munster Heineken Cup semi-final in April.

Stadium and commercial director Peter McKenna confirmed there has been no contact about accommodating the game in the event the provinces win their respective quarter-finals against Toulon and Toulouse.

As Croke Park hosts the four divisional football finals on Saturday and Sunday April 26 and 27, it is likely only the Friday evening option would be entertained by the GAA. McKenna did not speculate on that, only to confirm the rule in the Official Guide should an approach be made: “There is a mechanism in place should the ERC make a request. It would then be put before Central Council for direction.”
