WITH JUST SIX weeks until the start of the 2017 Women’s Rugby World Cup, the IRFU has today launched Ireland’s jersey for the home tournament — and you’ll be able to get your hands on a replica version for the first time ever.
The Canterbury designed shirt will be worn by Niamh Briggs and her team-mates during next month’s tournament in Ireland, and 500 have been made available for supporters to pre-order here.
With the World Cup badge emblazoned on the front, the limited edition jersey is on sale for €85 and will be released on 17 July.
“We are delighted that Canterbury has launched a supporter’s jersey to mark our team’s participation in the historic Women’s Rugby World Cup 2017 which will be played out on home soil. This comes at a time when interest in Women’s rugby is at an all-time high,” IRFU commercial director Padraig Power said.
