Frontline workers to be among the first fans back at the RDS

Leinster Rugby has made the gesture as it prepares to welcome back 1,200 fans to their Rainbow Cup game against Dragons at the RDS on Friday week

Leinster Rugby is to offer some tickets free of charge to frontline workers from St Vincent’s University Hospital for their home game at the RDS against Dragons on Friday week.

The gesture has been made in recognition not just of their efforts over the last 15 months but also the hospital’s support in putting together a test event proposal for the return of fans which was issued to the Irish government in mid-May.
