What a great night at the Stormont Hotel at our
Meet the Neebies event starring Sam Windsor,
Sam Arnold, Paul Rowley, John Andrew, Willie
Faloon and Frankie Taggart! The boys were in
great form and over 100 URSC members will feel
they have got to know how the new guys tick a little
better. Attendees were entertained in particular
by Frankie’s tattoos and stories of daring do on
his Tbilisi adventure! Members attending posed
questions, got autographs and took photos and
selfies. For a lucky few there were ballot prizes
to be won including a voucher for Molly Brown’s
Kitchen and Bar. Big thanks too to the Stormont
Hotel and its great staff.
The next Meet the Players event will be
Tuesday 3rd November.

WINNERS
The MRSC London Branch, with the support of
all four provincial Supporters Clubs (including
URSC) and the official IRFU Supporters Club, has
organised three Irish RWC Pre-Match Parties in
London and Cardiff this October with Irish band
Hermitage Green as the headline act for each.
Ireland play Italy in the Olympic Stadium in London
on Sunday October 4th, France in the Millennium
Stadium in Cardiff on October 11th and will
hopefully qualify to play a Quarter Final on the 17th
or 18th of October also in the Millennium Stadium.
On the eve of these massive and historical sporting
fixtures Hermitage Green will headline three official
Irish Supporters Pre-Match parties!!
Each of the three nights promise to deliver a
fantastic fusion of sport, music and banter. The
running order will vary slightly between events
given the unpredictable nature of the quarter
final weekend, however in general, a night’s
entertainment will include an insightful Q&A with
high profile ex Irish Internationals, a screening of
the main match on that night, followed by a live
performance by Hermitage Green. Then, to round
off a fantastic evening, a DJ will assist guests to
dance the night away until the early hours
