Sea of Blue expected at Croke Park for Champions Cup semi-final

There is no truth in the rumours there will be a heavy Garda and stewards presence at the entrances to Hill 16, denying entry to those who cannot produce a utility bill with a Dublin address.

Doris, the Breaffy part of him understanding just what it means to be there, the Blackrock College part of him wondering if he is living in a parallel universe, likes both sides of the coin. "I have been in those stands plenty of times for some good days as well as plenty of bad ones, it is an iconic stadium for Irish culture. We feel very fortunate as a group to have a crack there tomorrow.

Leinster's batch of semi-finals, working backwards from last season have been staged at The Aviva, The Aviva, La Rochelle's Marcel Deflandre, The Aviva, The Aviva, Lyon's Mahmut de Gerland, Marseille's Velodrome, Bordeaux's Chaban Delmas, The Aviva, Toulouse's Le Stadium and, er, Croke Park - so it will be both familiar and unfamiliar surroundings.
