UPDATE: EARLIER THIS week we asked you how far you’ve gone to support your rugby team.
And since then we’ve been reading about your epic away days, missed exams and new friends.
But we had to give the luxury Guinness PRO12 final tickets to Leo Troy.
“Over the past 11 seasons my now wife and I have been following Connacht Rugby,” he wrote. “Last September we married and of course it was memorable year for both us and Connacht Rugby.
“As the Pro12 winning season progressed we decided we would have a Connacht Rugby themed wedding. We started by sending our invitations which were a copy of the Pro12 final ticket.
“We entered our reception to Shipping off to Boston – the Connacht Rugby entrance tune – and wearing our jerseys. Our table plan was laid out with team players and numbers as was the squad named for the game that day which happened to be the away game that was abandoned in Zebre.
“Thankfully we were able to make the rearranged fixture.
- The luxury Fan Experience Area is the ultimate way to support your team at the match. You and your friends can watch the game in a prime location, with unrestricted views, free gifts and a cold, creamy pint served directly to your seat. The winners will be chosen at random on Wednesday at noon and entrants must be over 18 years of age.
So, let’s hear your stories of supporting your province over the years, home and abroad in the comment section below or email competitions@the42.ie:

Great to see Robbie in form, in a decent league pre Euros… But let’s hope trap is paying attention to the fine performances of ciaran Clarke too!
Ciaran Clark has to go to the Euros. He will be important in the WC 2014 qualifiers and a good player for us for years to come hopefully. His goal in the cup a few weeks ago was class.
Keane is getting some great confidence boosters here. Hopefully this can continue to the summer. But defender and goalkeeper need to up the game. (oshea and given).
Pilkington of Norwich is class and should be in traps squad aswell
Duffer answered rumours of being sold by Fulham
Keane is on fire two absolutely top drawer goals and was Scholes like playing in front of mid field.
I think an important question to ask is why Robbie Keane joined LA Galaxy if he still can play at a decent level if not the premiere league then surely the championship is better quality then the MLS…
