Irish rugby stars Fergus McFadden, Richardt Strauss and Mike Ross line-out in University College Dublin with a selection of Ulster Bank League club captains and Munster legend Alan Quinlan to mark the return of Ulster Bank RugbyForce.

This is a community initiative which provides rugby clubs with the opportunity to win support packages to renovate their club and upgrade their facilities.

This year five clubs will receive a €5,000 prize, with one coming down to a public vote and the winning clubs will also receive a special training session from an IRFU coach and two Irish rugby stars.

Ulster Bank RugbyForce ambassador, Alan Quinlan, is calling on clubs across Ireland to enter the initiative.

Now it in its third year the initiative is once again open up for entries from rugby clubs across the island of Ireland, through Ulster Bank’s dedicated rugby website.
