Munster must wait another two weeks for venue

Barry Coughlan

The French outfit has been desperately searching for a suitable venue in order to cope with the expected demand for tickets for the game and the club has been in negotiations with Real Sociedad to use their ground in San Sebastian which has a capacity of 20,000 more than their own ground at Parc des Sports Aguilera.

In giving the club more time to finalise their arrangements, ERC also announced yesterday they would allocate between eight and nine thousand tickets to Munster fans if the game is moved to the Spanish city.
