Here's a question for Munster fans; if Munster lose next Saturday (and I accept that it's unlikely) will you then cheer for Leinster in the final?
Furthermore, I always cheer them on, obviously not when they are playing Munster. In the Dug-Out after the Ospreys game, there was a sizeable crew of us watching them play 'Quins and hoping for the Leinster win. The further Irish teams get in the HC, the better it is for Irish rugby.
I have travelled to see Munster play and will always support them except when they play Leinster.

If the answer is yes then you are a genuine rugby fan, if not then you are motivated more my deep rooted insecurity then pride about where you come from.
I have tickets for the final and I won't go if we don't make it.
Good to hear here is another question which comes first Ireland or your province?
Munster (I'm honest!)
the amount of Stick Trevor Brennan (you know your typical D4 leinster player) used to get from the terraces about how he used to be a Milkman

To not support an Irish team in an international competition shows a remarkable level of parochialism.That really doesn't make much sense. You should follow your home team all the way, and when they are out you can root for anyone you want, but to not cheer on Leinster doesn't stop anyone from being a rugby fan. A rugby fan is just that, a fan of rugby.
If muster lose, cmon Leinster
But, if munster win do you think Brian O'Driscoll will cheer on Munster???????
I would be surprised if he didn't. In fact, barring our favourite Argentinian I would think they all would.
I'm a Munster man, married and living in enemy territory and will be at Croker in my red shirt on Saturday evening, next to my wife in her blue shirt. We were at Landsdowne Road in 06 and once we saw the draw for the semis that year, we sorted out flights and tickets for the final on the grounds that at least one Irish team would be there. Have to say, Mrs Sox enjoyed Cardiff that day. Often been to Donnybrook and the RDS to watch Leinster and have no problem shouting for them, except when they are playing Munster.
As for the Munster Bandwagon and a previous posters comments around 200 people in Dooradoyle in 99, he's right, no one watched inter-provincial rugby until the Heineken cup and Celtic league came along. Instead Limerick people watched their club and you could get 5-10000 for a Limerick derby in the AIL, especially if Garryowen, Shannon or Young Muster were involved. The difference in Munster is that as the AIL declined in quality, perople moved to watching the province and not the club. There is an arguement, that as no one watched AIL rugby in Dublin, that the bandwagon is in the Pale.
