#4. Thomond Park, Limerick
Thomond Park, a European rugby haven, holds a special place in Owens’ heart. With a capacity of 28,000, the stadium transforms into a cauldron of passion during European Cup clashes. Owens recommends the experience of witnessing showdowns against giants like Toulouse, Leicester, or Clermont, making it a must on any rugby fan’s bucket list.
Owens wrote: “For me, few things beat Thomond Park on a European Cup weekend. That is an experience that should be on every rugby fan’s bucket list. When there are 28,000 in there for games against the likes of Toulouse, Leicester or Clermont – all of which I’ve refereed there – then it doesn’t half take some beating.”
