Leinster hoping to play Heineken Cup at RDS

LEINSTER CEO Mick Dawson has confirmed that they are in negotiations to play their Heineken Cup games this season at the RDS grounds in Ballsbridge, Dublin.

Dawson is hopeful Leinster will make their debut at the venue in October when they open their European campaign against Bath.

Talks between the Leinster Branch and the Royal Dublin Society are ongoing and are believed to be down to the “fine detail” stage.
