Ulster Rugby backs Jacob Stockdale and Will Addison stitched up former teammate Tommy Bowe with some enticing offers for next season.
Bowe retired last year and has since made the transition into television serving as eir Sport’s rugby presenter but he was tempted back into the rugby world by CEO Johnny Petrie, or in this case, Jacob Stockdale.
Stockdale posed as the Ulster chief executive and tried to lure Bowe back into working with the club, first as an academy coach, and then later as a presenter with Ulster Rugby TV.
🎬 @JacobStockdale & @WillAddisonB3 were manning the phones in the Ticket Office this week.
As they spent a couple of hours thanking Season Ticket holders for their support, they also found time to prank call @TommyBowe… 🙊

The former Ireland winger kindly declined the offers before eventually copping that it was not Petrie that was on the other end.
The nominees have been announced ahead of the annual Heineken Ulster Rugby Awards Dinner, which will be held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Belfast on Thursday 9th May.
