Charity begins at... the Rugby World Cup

Pull on the green jersey for charity and help some of rugby’s greats. Or win one of three charity shirts right here.

THIS MONTH IN New Zealand, a group of Irish rugby fans are cycling across the country in all kinds of weather and conditions for charity.

They’ll send us regular updates throughout the trip.

As part of the official IRFU Charitable Trust Cycle Tour of New Zealand, money raised on the epic journey will go to the organisation to “assist severely injured rugby players in their everyday lives, and help to restore their confidence and independence.”

From all parts of Ireland, the pack will wear their stylish official cycling jersey throughout - which you can buy here.

But, as we’re lucky enough have TheScore’s logo on the shirt’s collar, we’ve bought a few and you can win one of three prizes by simply entering our caption compeition.

So, what are Ireland stars Jonny Sexton (striking a pose in the aforementioned jersey), Stephen Ferris, TheScore columnist Fergus McFadden and model Melanie McKey saying  in this pic?

Suggestion in the comments field below please…

In the saddle: a baptism of fire and ice on the road to World Cup glory

    Sexton didn’t realise what the lads really meant when they said they were going for a tandem ride…..

    The Irish Rugby players show their gentle side, just look how carefully Sexton is holding that bike.
