Canterbury's Head of Sports Marketing, Simon Rowe said: "The IRFU's commitment to the game reflects our own brand values, with both Canterbury and the IRFU determined to develop the game both on and off the field. We wish the team the best of luck in WRWC 2017! ”.

"The jersey will be a welcome addition to the fantastic range of women's products already available on our website and is the first specifically designed shirt for the women's team supporter.” For the first time, the WRWC pro jersey is now available to purchase, with 500 available exclusively at the IRFU Canterbury Store and online at shop.irishrugby.ie   Also, for those that would like the pro version of the jersey, 500 will be made available through the kit designer's official website.
