Stars give taste of pro life at brekkie briefing
The purpose of the briefings is to give supporters a behind-the-scenes view of running a professional rugby team.
Supporters will also have the opportunity to take part in an open discussion with team management and players on all aspects of the professional game in a questions and answers session.
The briefings, hosted in association with Cork and Limerick Chambers, will be held on March 5 and 6. All proceeds from the events will be donated by Munster Rugby to the children’s units of the Mercy Hospital, Cork and the Regional Hospital, Limerick.
Garrett Fitzgerald, Munster Rugby chief executive explained: “This is our fourth year hosting these annual breakfast briefings. It is incredible to look at the difference in the business challenges of running Munster Rugby today versus three years ago.
“These briefings give us an unique opportunity to outline to the broader community the range of commercial activity required to support the operation of a professional rugby team.”
He added: “The redevelopment of Thomond Park, sponsorship deals with Adidas and Toyota along with the launch of a clothing range are just some of the major commercial developments taken place over the past year.
“Each new season brings major business challenges and we have so much to look forward to with the quarter-finals of the Heineken Cup approaching and the opening of our new stadium.”
The briefings start with a presentation by Fitzgerald called “Running a Professional Rugby Team.” This will be followed by a questions and answers forum with Munster Director of Rugby, Declan Kidney, who will be joined by several of Munster’s senior players.
Breakfast time:
The briefings take place in the Clarion Hotel, Cork on Wednesday March 5 and Hilton Hotel, Limerick on March 6, from 7.45am to 9.30am.
* Tickets are available from Cork Chamber on 021-4509044 and Limerick Chamber on 061-415180.
