Leinster

Leinster - LONS-STER - noun

Affluent Province in the East of Ireland, home to Kilkenny City, Naas, Gorey and the Irish Capital Dublin.

Populated by a diverse range of people hailing from backwards rural areas like Urlingford to cosmopolitan Dublin, the financial and social capital posessing most of the country's top bars, property locations, business houses and eateries.

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.
