You might even catch one of the Irish lads rapping about Romania or free-styling about France.

If you are following Joe Schmidt’s men in green on their World Cup journey, Hermitage Green have you covered.

For the first time ever, all four Irish provinces and the official IRFU Supporters Group are teaming up for two [hopefully three] events the night before Paul O’Connell leads his men into battle.

Hermitage Green are headlining three pre-match parties – the third is slated in for the quarter final weekend of October 17/18 – in London and Cardiff.

The events will feature a World Cup game on big screen TVs, Q&A sessions with high-profile pundits and former Irish internationals, and the Hermitage Green lads, who are firm favourites of players such as Simon Zebo and Conor Murray.

The three nights promise to deliver a fantastic fusion of sport, music and banter.

Confirmed for the for the opening night, at The Brewery in London city centre, are Peter Stringer and Stephen Ferris, with the voice of RTE Radio’s rugby coverage, Michael Corcoran, MCing the event.

After the panel discussion you’ll be able to watch England v Australia live on the big screen followed by a Hermitage Green and  a DJ set.

Hermitage Green who recently signed to Sony and are set to release their their new single ‘Quicksand’ this month. The band, who have privately performed twice for the Irish Rugby team, are renowned for their lively and energetic sets.

In March, in the midst of a successful Six Nations, Zebo joined the lads on stage for a rendition of ‘One More Chance’, by Notorious B.I.G that brought the house down.

Full event and ticket information can be viewed on the band’s Facebook page with tickets available here.
