Cochrane 50th cap and captain tonight even though Gilchrist starting, we don't usually have 50th/100th caps as captain do we?

Hope nobody was relying on a walk up ticket.

Would speculate this was to a) make sure we had a chance of nearly or actually selling out the first game, bearing in mind the quality of opposition and reliance on home support; b) to test that the standing capacity works in practice and is deemed safe. That being the case, would expect capacity to rise for the Munster game all being well. 5000 for.this game would be a fantastic effort

The figure given for the Timisoara game was actually 4,000, which I thought at the time was a bit optimistic! If there's 4,000 or more there, that will be a cracking result.
The other 5 games were all forecast at 5,500, or just about full capacity. Edit, correction, faulty memory cell: The Munster and Cardiff games were forecast 5,500, the games later in the season - Ospreys, Connacht, Dragons - were 4,500.

Those were forecasts for the crowd, not the capacity.
