Be 'The 16th Man' For Connacht : Irish Rugby

Connacht Rugby have launched a ticket initiative that is the highlight of their '16th Man' campaign. For just ?16, supporters can see Connacht face the full force of Scottish rugby when both Glasgow Warriors and Edinburgh arrive in Galway this month.

That works out at an incredible €8 per match to see Connacht take on Glasgow Warriors (Saturday, February 18) and Edinburgh (Friday, February 24) at the Sportsground in the RaboDirect PRO12.

This offer ends tomorrow (Tuesday at 5pm) with supporters urged to take advantage of this special opportunity to 'Front Up! Rise Up! Double Up!'.

The tickets can be purchased here. They are also available from the Connacht Branch office at the Sportsground.

The 16th Man campaign has been launched to reward the loyalty of Connacht's fans for their support over the last couple of months and this exceptional value ticket offer forms the highlight of the campaign.

This season has seen record attendances at the redeveloped Sportsground with the highest turnout for a league match (Leinster on New Year's Day) and the record smashing 9,124 supporters who witnessed Connacht take on the mighty Toulouse in the Heineken Cup.

Connacht Rugby are urging fans to take advantage of the offer and be the 16th man as Connacht take on the high flying Scots in back-to-back home games.

Ireland Under-20 head coach Nigel Carolan looks forward to the 2015 campaign and discusses the objectives for his squad this season. There is a strong emphasis on player development at this level which Carolan believes is important in bringing young talent through to the professional game.

The IRFU officially launched a bid to host RWC 2023 in The Royal School, Armagh last week with the backing of the two governments. Check out our highlights from the day.
