Sarries keeping ear out for Irish accents

Rugby fans "with an Irish accent" seeking club tickets to Munster’s crucial Champions Cup clash at Saracens next month "will be treated with suspicion", the Aviva Premiership club has declared.

Saracens are already taking steps to ensure their home game on January 17 won’t be stormed by Munster’s red army and the English club have put a vetting system in place to ensure club tickets do not find their way into the hands of Munster supporters.

Sarries are understandably keen to keep the occasion from becoming another memorable Munster away day.
