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. 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 GOING TO THE RWC?
