Tickets for the St. Stephen's Day showdown between Connacht and Munster at the Sportsground (kick-off 5pm) are selling fast.

Fans who intend on travelling to the game are advised to buy their tickets in advance, this week, to avoid disappointment.

As with the Connacht v Leinster game in October, once ticket sales have reached capacity, there will be no more admittance to the ground. This is a health and safety issue.

Tickets can be purchased online via ticketmaster.ie or through the Connacht Rugby office in the Sportsground. Prices for tickets are as follows:

Enclosed Stand: sold out

Ground: €;20

Concession: €;15 (student, OAP, unwaged)

Junior: €;5

As usual children under-12 are free when accompanied by an adult
