WHAT
Rugby Rising is a 5-day event for school rugby teams. The festival focuses on development through competitive matches mixed with fun educational days.
Over the five days the teams will be provided with a platform to further develop their knowledge of health and well being while networking with friends and rival teams.
This is topped off with an opportunity to meet the nation’s leading faces in rugby - international coaches, players & industry professionals
Driving the festival is one of Ireland’s favourite faces of rugby, Tommy Bowe.
"The Schools Cup is the holy grail for schoolboys and girls when it comes to rugby. We want the Rugby Rising Festival to become a permanent fixture in the school calendar that they look forward to in the same light", says Bowe.
