Most famous for it's Champion rugby team based in Dublin 4. Leinster rugby's spiritual home is the romantic Donnybrook but lately matches have taken place in the Royal Dublin Showgrounds (RDS) and a planned move to Lansdowne Road as tickets sales soar.
Leinster are statistically the best supported team in Celtic rugby as well as the most solvent. They posses a proverbial who's who of Irish and International rugby talent. Leinster are currently the Magner's League Champions of the Celtic country and are favoured to lift this season's Heineken Cup.
Despite a devastating backline and rich domestic rugby heritage Leinster are often handicapped by their new found "fan base" drawn from Dublin's outer suburbia commuter belt, many of these new fans are members of the OLSC and struggle to comprehend the more basic of rugby's laws.
