It may be a short while yet before the RDS gets its full makeover but some of the seats will have a new look to them over the coming weeks as part of a new promotion with Lifestyle Sports as the Official Retail Partner of Leinster Rugby.

Sean O’Brien, Joey Carbery and Andrew Porter were in the RDS yesterday to launch Life Style Sports’ latest fan competition and have a chat with the media.

Fans attending the next four home games should keep an eye out for the Life Style Sports stamped seats. If you find yourself in a special seat and are wearing the latest Leinster Rugby jersey, take a selfie with the stamp tagging @LifeStyleSportsRugby on Instagram to win a €50 gift card.

The three lads in the picture above probably don’t need it as much as some but it should lead to an earlier than usual arrival in the ground for kids of all ages wearing the kits they might have got over Christmas.

O’Brien grabbed the column inches in today’s papers, talking about his shallow hips and playfully pointing out that James Ryan could turn out to be better than Paul O’Connell.  Good to see that the rivalry between Leinster and Munster hasn’t changed with the New Year.
