Rugby is a different experience to soccer. The next edition of the Six Nations will at least allow the IRFU to save a bit of face. The fans themselves are responsible for the noise in the stadium. They can't change the prices. It's not like they don't have great crowds at rugby matches. Munster fans filled the Aviva Stadium in their droves against Toulouse last May. Ed Sheeran concert scheduling conflict forced the province to make Dublin 4 its adopted home.
