Stars Of The Past To Play In Cashel RFC

Munster rugby stars of the past will take on a selected Tipperary side when the two teams meet in Cashel RFC at 2pm on Saturday the 21st May.

Stalwarts such as Federico Pucciariello, Frankie Sheahan, Alan Quinlan, John Kelly and Anthony Horgan will team up with a formidable contingent of current domestic rugby players to take on the “Tipperary Tigers”, sponsored by Azzurri Sport, as part of former Australian International player Michael Lynagh’s team selection.

The Tigers will be comprised of top players from Cashel, Clonmel, Kilfeacle and Clanwilliam rugby clubs with all proceeds being donated in aid of local Tipperary special needs school Scoil Chormaic.

Ireland's most capped back row forward Simon Easterby will also make an appearance as a spectator and will be joined on the sidelines by some of Munster’s old and new representative players to demonstrate the Rugby community's support for this great cause.

Children’s entertainment will be on hand from 1.00 p.m. and large screens will be provided to watch the Heineken Cup final. A BBQ will also be put on by the club for the day.

Michael Lynagh will be on hand to present jerseys to his squad and in a unique cross sport gesture the Tigers' jerseys will be presented to them by Declan Ryan the Tipperary Hurling Manager.
