Get ready for a whimsical addition to Irish Rugby as ALDI's beloved Kevin the Carrot takes the mantle as the Official Team Mascot! The unveiling ceremony will take place tonight at the iconic Aviva Stadium, where the spirit of rugby merges with creativity and fun. Kevin, known for his charming personality and vibrant antics, is set to become a fan favorite, energizing supporters both in the stands and at home. With his signature cheeky grin and a knack for encouraging healthy eating, he’s not just a mascot; he’s a symbol of a healthy lifestyle and community spirit in Ireland.

In a clever twist, the collaboration between ALDI and Irish Rugby aims to ignite passion and excitement for the team while promoting healthy eating among fans.

But that’s not all, as the night will also pay tribute to a local hero from Foxford.

This heartfelt gesture honors the legacy of Admiral William Brown, a revered figure in Irish maritime history, bringing a sentimental and historical allure to the occasion. Blending sports with local pride, this addition to the evening underscores how sports unite communities and revitalize local heritage.

As fans flock to join in this lively event, they’ll witness not only a mascot’s debut but also a reminder of the significance of roots and camaraderie. The blend of community spirit from both the mascot reveal and the homage to a local hero is what makes Irish Rugby truly unique.
