If you had told me that the Irish Rugby Football team would be on board il Mostro , I would have told you that you were dreamin’. If you had to tell me that they even had a special green Irish spinnaker on board, I’d have you certified.
Pretty cool looking vibe, I must say:
Probably serving Guiness on board..

Giving it a full go
And WHY did this take place you ask? Well, I’ll tell you:
il mostro, PUMA’s entry in the Volvo Ocean Race which is currently in Galway, Ireland, flies a green spinnaker during the Galway Pro-Am Race today, Sunday 31st May to celebrate PUMA’s recent partnership with the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU). Sailing onboard was Paul Wallace, Lions tour Sky Sports commentator and former Irish Rugby player. Also sailing onboard was Waterford Hurler John Mullane.
PUMA, the leading sportlifestyle brand recently became the official supplier and the official licensee of replica merchandise for Irish rugby. The new deal will see PUMA supply team kit, replica kit and training equipment for eight years starting from the beginning of the 2009/2010 season.
It’s all making sense now..
