Using leading, custom-made, real-time software coupled with the expert knowledge of Jock Peggie, Head of Education, Laws and Compliance at World Rugby, the interactive experience delivers a truly authentic and exciting reflection of the game, with visitors having hands-on fun every step of the way.
Stunning 360-degree views of Limerick city centre ensure that the sixth floor Legends Gallery will be a jaw-dropping end to this unique, interactive, experience. Walk in visitors are welcome from tomorrow morning with tickets available to pre-book from May 15th online at www.internationalrugbyexperience.com.
