What's Been Said - La Rochelle - The ground will be yellow.

"There is not many places where you could say you get a sold-out game every weekend, albeit only 16,700, but the population of the town is 70,000 so to have a sell-out of around a quarter of the population is pretty special," Nick Skelton pointing out why the normally noticeable Leinster away fans have had difficulty sourcing tickets.
