Announcement of Bushmills Sponsorship of Irish Rugby
6 November 2006; "The Spirit of Irish Rugby" - Willie John McBride, Mick Galwey and Jeremy Davidson, three men who epitomise the spirit of Irish rugby were on hand today at the Bushmills Distillery to welcome Bushmills Irish Whiskey as sponsor of the Irish Rugby Team. McBride, Galwey and Davidson, who between them played 136 times in the green jersey were at the Bushmills Distillery to celebrate the signing of the official contract with the IRFU. McBride, who only last week was inducted to the Irish Rugby Writers Hall of Fame, played 63 times for Ireland - including 12 as captain - while Mick Galwey (41 caps) and Jeremy Davidson (32 caps) were contemporaries during the second half of the 1990s.
