IRFU still in talks with World Rugby over relief fund

The IRFU are continuing discussions with World Rugby over accessing an international relief fund which was set up to aid national unions during the coronavirus pandemic.

Last month, the global governing body announced a $100m (€92m) package to assist organisations who apply for financial support. Rugby Australia confirmed yesterday that it has received €8.4m in funding to help it through the crisis brought on by the COVID-19 crisis.
