VIDEO: RTE’s Autumn Rugby Internationals promo is typically brilliant

Soaring music, slo-mo shots and great clips. What more could you want?

Tom McGuirk does the honours, and it’s only lovely.

We know RTE gets a lot of stick but when it comes to pre-big game videos they are a class apart. They thrilled us all summer with superb GAA promos and they produced some belters during the World Cup too.

So, with the rugby internationals back this week, we expected something great and they didn’t disappoint.

Tom McGuirk delivers the words and he reminds us of the fact that we won’t have BOD this time around, that the Rugby World Cup isn’t too far away and that the Springboks and Australians should pose a serious test to Joe Schmidt’s side. It is pitch perfect and really tees up the next few weeks of rugby.

Honestly, if this doesn’t get you in the mood for the game later on, you need to have a long hard look at yourself.
