Ah lads.
Bath have banned travelling Leinster fans from using flags at today’s Champions Cup pool clash between the two sides, for “health and safety” reasons.
The Premiership side are set to take on the defending Champions at the Rec later today in a crucial fixture, but understandably have upset the travelling support with this bizarre ban.
The Leinster Supporters club say they brought over 1500 flags with them to distribute to the Leinster faithful, but were refused from distributing them. They say they did “everything we could” but Bath refused to play ball.

These flags have been passed as safe by Airports and stadia all over the world. We would like to apologise to supporters for this disappointing news. We did everything we could to get the flags from Bath but they wouldn’t release them.
