Currys and Munster Rugby have announced a two year extension of its partnership as the Official Technology Supplier to the teams.
Currys will equip Munster Rugby’s High-Performance Centre with state-of-the-art technology, supporting the team’s pursuit of peak performance.
The technology provided will include advanced tools such as DJI drones and GoPro cameras, enabling multi-angle capture of training sessions. This footage, synchronised with GPS tracking software, allows for comprehensive player analysis, helping the team optimize performance and track improvements.
It will also include MacBooks and iPads – essential for coaches to analyse training footage, review game performance, and prepare for upcoming opponents and Large-screen LG TVs featuring the latest display technology for analysis.
At Thomond Park, Munster Rugby players Gavin Coombes, Tom Farrell and Billy Burns joined Keith McMahon, General Manager at Currys Limerick, to celebrate the continuation of this technology partnership, originally established in 2021.
“We’re thrilled to renew our partnership with Munster Rugby, and we’re confident that the technology we provide will continue to elevate the training and development of players across the club,” said Keith Daly, Country Manager at Currys.
“At Currys, we take pride in delivering the very best in technology, and we’re excited to support Munster Rugby in achieving success this season and beyond.”
“Our Performance Analysis Department is dedicated to maximising our teams’ win potential,” added Munster Rugby’s Head Performance Analyst, George Murray.
“Technology from Currys – such as drones and Apple devices – enables our analysis team to capture multi-angle footage for both team and individual review, supporting the ongoing development of our players. During games, this tech provides coaches and sideline staff with real-time visual and data feedback, allowing us to make quick adjustments for optimal performance.”
“Post-game, laptops provided by Currys allow coaches to analyse team and individual metrics and review opposition scouting data, enhancing our preparation for each match. Currys’ continuous support enables us to stay at the forefront of sports performance technology.”
