Tobin tackles IRFU chiefs as ticket policy ‘endangering’ clubs

THE Irish Rugby Football Union has been accused of endangering the future of clubs throughout the country because of its international match-ticket policy.

Young Munster club President Derek Tobin has charged the IRFU with reckless-behaviour by the imposition of penalties on clubs unable to sell their entire ticket allocation in the current recession.

Mr Tobin, a former Munster scrum half who played in the province’s famous 1992 victory over the then world champions Australia at Musgrave Park, was speaking at Temple Hill before the Cork Constitution – Young Munster AIL game on Saturday.
