Hi George,

Now we are back home it’s time to reflect on the tour.

General census from the whole team is “lets do it again”.

It was a great tour, everyone enjoyed themselves.  Our driver and guide were really great fun.  They kept us entertained on a daily basis with all the “craic” which is now our new word.

Our training sessions in Dublin, Galway and Cork were really productive and we learnt an awful lot from them.  The games were at the right level for us and we really enjoyed them.  We would like to thank the 3 clubs involved as we were very well treated.

As for sightseeing and activities it was great to see a bit of Ireland.

Cliffs of Moher were breathtaking, spectacular.   My own experience to Blarney Castle gave me great joy.

Our experience in learning how to play traditional Irish sports was really good fun and I know for one, really enjoyed it.

Finally, I would just like to say working with Irish Rugby Tours was a great experience.  They were helpful and accommodating to our needs.  When we needed help they were there at the end of the phone and really couldn’t do enough for us.

Our driver and guide were always at our side and looked after us with great professionalism.

George was great at getting our tour planned and booked, overall a fantastic tour.
