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.”
