URC chief Martin Anayi keen to see current final venue format maintained via IrishTimesSport
“That’s why this weekend is really interesting, because if Leinster win they’ve got a final in the Aviva Stadium. If Munster win and Stormers win, then they’re down in Cape Town. That’s why we’ve gone that route and that is really, really tricky for us, but actually this year there is an extra gap of a week between the Champions Cup final in Dublin.
“So we’ll have a bit more time to put it on logistically than we did last year, which was a five-day turnaround. For us, I think the home final route is the way to go and what we should stick to.” “That’s a key initiative internally for us, and over 50 per cent of our workforce are women. They are very, very keen, as I am, to see a women’s competition of some description. We’re really keen on talking to the Premier 15s and learning a lot of lessons from their learning through the process the RFU have run with that.
