| The re-launched irishrugby.ie offers a complete resource for all levels of the game from test match to schools, including dedicated sections for provincial rugby, the club game, and the women’s game.
The site, which utilises RedDot Solution’s content management system, also provides access to a wide range of multimedia through Irish Rugby TV, including full audio coverage of all Ireland’s test matches, and comprehensive video in the build up to each of the Triple Crown holders games.
There are also fully integrated and constantly updated statistics on all Irish test players, profiles of all the current squad, and an exclusive section for Irish Rugby Supporters Club members.
The Irish Rugby Union is the second National Rugby Union to team up with Sotic, with the Welsh Rugby Union already working with Sotic. The company also provide the sites for the Magners League, Irish provinces Ulster and Munster, The Heineken Cup, the Guinness Premiership and seven of the top flight clubs in England.
“We are delighted to have developed this partnership with the IRFU,” said Sotic’s Operations Director, John Ludlam. “IrishRugby.ie will allow all fans of Irish rugby to stay in touch, not only with the test side in their Six Nations campaign, the Rugby World Cup and beyond, but also with every aspect of the game throughout Ireland. The partnership also reaffirms Sotic’s commitment to providing high quality sports websites.”
Barry Cunningham, the IRFU’s Website & Supporters Club Manager, added “We are delighted to have teamed up with SOTIC for the provision of IrishRugby.ie. Their experience and understanding of the game are crucial in helping us to deliver a world class website that meets all international standards and acts as a shop window for the game of rugby in Ireland and the work of the IRFU in the promotion of rugby at club, provincial and international level. The popularity of the game in Ireland is on the rise and we have seen that over the last year with the increased visitor numbers to our site. IrishRugby.ie will continue to evolve to meet the needs of all the stakeholders in the game in Ireland.”
