In launching the IrishRugby.ie Lions tournament site, IRFU Commercial & Marketing Director Padraig Power said: “IrishRugby.ie has become the premier rugby website in recent years and this is reflected in the figures we see for site visits and page impressions.
“Rugby fans know they will get the best content on our site be it news, match reports, image galleries or Irish Rugby TV.
“The profile of the game has never been better and our website is a key part of showcasing the success and promoting the game at grassroots.
“Fans come to the site for the content and they come back again and again because they know they will get the best information on rugby on IrishRugby.ie.
“This has been a wonderful season for Irish rugby with the Magners League, the Heineken Cup and the Grand Slam and IrishRugby.ie has been on hand every step of the way.
“Now we have the Lions tour and once again the website will be the first port of call for rugby fans on the web.”
