Rugby star drops in to help sailors

It took a week but finally some of the Volvo Ocean Race sailors found an Irish star they wanted their picture taken with.

Throughout the week, they have been happily posing for pictures with all and sundry. Draped in their branded team gear, they have been hard to miss. However, it took the arrival of a recently retired Irish and Munster rugby star to get the sailors looking for a picture of their own.

David Wallace was in town, and as a guest on board Puma’s boat the Mar Mostro, he was happily shooting the breeze about all things rugby with crew members from the rugby-mad nations like New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa.
