Donal Lenihan: Any tickets? You're asking the wrong man...

Irish fans will again fill the Stade de France on Saturday night for the mouth-watering meeting with the All Blacks.

Any tickets? If I get asked that again this week, I’ll blow a fuse. Grabbing a bit of fresh air on the Boulevard Saint-Michel on Sunday, with the restoration work continuing up river at an impressive pace on the district's most famous landmark Notre Dame, the Irish supporters are still visible and bouncing around the place after the heroics of the national team the previous evening.

Four games in and you’d think the money might be starting to run out at this stage. Judging by the number of texts I received in the 24 hours after the game, it’s now the turn of those fans who’ve missed out on the incredible scenes so far over here to come and sample it for themselves.
