Leinster Rugby issue urgent warning to fans ahead of URC quarter-final clash against the Scarlets
@Source: thesun.ie
LEINSTER fans heading to the URC quarter-final showdown against the Scarlets at the Aviva Stadium this weekend are being warned of major rail disruption. Leo Cullen's side face the Welsh outfit in the knockout playoffs stage of the competition on Saturday, with kick-off set for 3pm at the Dublin venue. And fans have been urged to get the the stadium early as travel disruptions are set to wreak havoc. There will be no DART service between Connolly and Dún Laoghaire due to planned Irish Rail engineering works - throwing a travel spanner into the URC matchday plans. A whopping 11 city and suburban stations will be closed, including key stops like Lansdowne Road, Grand Canal Dock, Pearse, Tara Street and more. In a statement shared on social media, Leinster Rugby confirmed that fans should plan ahead and allow extra time, with delays expected. The following stations will be shut all weekend: Tara Street, Pearse, Grand Canal Dock, Lansdowne Road, Sandymount, Sydney Parade, Booterstown, Blackrock, Seapoint, Salthill and Monkstown. While DART trains will still run from Malahide and Howth to Connolly, and from Dún Laoghaire to Bray and Greystones, anyone relying on stations in the affected zone will need to make alternative plans. There is some good news. Dublin Bus and Go-Ahead Ireland will accept valid rail tickets between closed stations, helping ease the blow. Matchgoers can find full travel updates via Irish Rail or at this official webiste. Leinster team to play Scarlets Leinster: Hugo Keenan; Jimmy O'Brien, Jamie Osborne, Jordie Barrett, James Lowe; Sam Prendergast, Jamison Gibson-Park; Andrew Porter, Rónan Kelleher, Thomas Clarkson; Joe McCarthy, James Ryan; Ryan Baird, Josh van der Flier, Jack Conan (capt). Replacements: Dan Sheehan, Jack Boyle, Rabah Slimani, RG Snyman, Max Deegan, Scott Penny, Luke McGrath, Ciarán Frawley.
