PricewaterhouseCoopers have confirmed that it will sponsor the Ireland under-21, Ireland under-19, Irish Colleges and Irish Universities rugby squads for the next three years.

“We are delighted to be involved in this further partnership with the IRFU," said Donal O’Connor, senior partner, PricewaterhouseCoopers.

"Our sponsorship reflects some key aspects of our own business. In rugby and in business having the right team working together is vital for success.

"Our sponsorship reflects our strong commitment to supporting Ireland’s young talent and helping them in their challenge to become world class performers. We wish all the Irish teams the best of luck this season".

IRFU President Andy Crawford responded: “It is a wonderful boost for both the Ireland Under 21 and Under 19 teams to receive this sponsorship.

"In addition to their role as sponsor of the PwC High Performance Unit, PricewaterhouseCoopers is playing a key role in the further development of young playing talent in Ireland. I wish both teams the best of luck in their respective competitions this season."
