#Traveltradetogether

Cassidy Travel, Ireland’s leading independent and multi-award-winning travel agent, is thrilled to announce that Bernard Jackman, esteemed RTE Rugby pundit and former Irish rugby union player, has taken on the role of Rugby Ambassador just in time for their Rugby World Cup 2023 travel programme in France this Autumn.

With an illustrious career spanning Connacht, Leinster, Sale Sharks and Ireland at international level, Bernard Jackman has not only left an indelible mark on the rugby field but has also become a respected voice in the world of rugby analysis. His experience at both domestic and international levels makes him the perfect fit to guide the thousands of customers travelling to France with Cassidy Travel through the exhilarating journey of the Rugby World Cup.

As an ambassador, Bernard Jackman will spearhead a series of events and special perks designed to enhance the experience of Cassidy Travel’s Rugby World Cup clients including an exclusive event in early September. Customers will have the unique opportunity to engage with the rugby legend through panel discussions featuring former players, gaining insights that only those who have graced the field can offer.

In addition to the panel discussions, Bernard Jackman will also host exclusive pre and post-match podcasts, providing in-depth analyses, expert predictions, and insider anecdotes that will enrich the overall Rugby World Cup experience for Cassidy Travel customers. These podcasts are set to be an essential part of fans preparation and debriefing around the matches, offering valuable perspective into the sport’s most anticipated event.
