Rugby Breakfast Details (schedule)

This event will be based around the rugby world cup pool match between Ireland and Australia. This takes place on Saturday September 17th at 9:30 AM. We are holding this event in Monroe’s Tavern Galway.

The idea is that we have a live panel of 3 to 4 former and current rugby players giving their own analysis of the game both before and after the game. At the moment we have Connacht Rugby, Galway Bay FM and Noel Mannion all willing to help out.

As well as having the discussion about the game we also have a number of prizes lined up for the event. So far we have signed jerseys from the All Blacks, Australia and Connacht with hopefully Ireland and the other provincial jerseys on the way. We also have a commitment from Connacht Rugby for tickets to some of their home fixtures.

8:15: Breakfast
