PINERGY today announced that it has teamed up with Munster scrum-half, Conor Murray, for the 2018/2019 season, as part of its innovative #WeAre16 campaign.  PINERGY the official energy partner to Munster Rugby will continue its Fan of the Match competition and introduce the new PINERGY POWER PLAYER for the second year of the #WeAre16 campaign.

PINERGY will run the #WeAre16 Fan of the Match competition at all Munster home games, recognising the energy determination and passion of Munster Rugby fans. The Fan of the Match is an acknowledgement of the energy the fans bring to the team, of the electric atmosphere in Thomond Park and Irish Independent Park and of the players’ recognition of the role the fans play for the team – Munster’s 16th man. The #WeAre16 Fan of the Match receives the 16-match jersey from a Munster player at the end of the game.

Building on the success of last season’s #WeAre16 campaign, PINERGY the energy innovators, have teamed up with Munster Rugby to create The PINERGY POWER PLAYER which is chosen for every Munster game based on the analytics from that game. PINERGY are the proud sponsor of the analytics and performance equipment used by Munster Rugby. The PINERGY POWER PLAYER is awarded at the end of every Munster game and is revealed across the PINERGY social channels. To date, Darren Sweetnam, CJ Stander, Tadhg Beirne, Alex Wootton, JJ Hanrahan, Jean Kleyn and Arno Botha have each been awarded the PINERGY POWER PLAYER this season.

PINERGY is also a proud supporter of the Munster Rugby Supporters Club Choir, the first provincial rugby choir of its kind in Ireland. Renowned for energising the Munster faithful with rousing renditions of ‘Stand Up & Fight’ and ‘Fields of Athenry’ before home matches in Thomond Park and Irish Independent Park. As part of the sponsorship, PINERGY provide electricity supply to Thomond Park and Irish Independent Park through their SME offering PINERGY Smart Business which helps Businesses and Farms to monitor, control, and reduce their consumption.

Speaking about his new partnership with PINERGY, Conor Murray said: “I’m delighted to come on board as a PINERGY brand ambassador. Munster fans are amongst the best in the world and the atmosphere that they create at our games is something very special. The #WeAre16 campaign acknowledges and celebrates the Munster fans, we as players can feel the energy they bring every time we step on the field.”

Enda Gunnell, Chief Executive Officer for PINERGY said: “PINERGY has been a proud partner of Munster Rugby since 2014, and we are thrilled to have Conor Murray on board as a brand ambassador for the 2018/2019 season. We are committed to Munster Rugby as official energy partner, the #WeAre16 Fan of the Match, PINERGY POWER PLAYER and our support of the Munster Rugby Supporters Choir enhance this commitment. We wish the team and Conor every success this season and will continue to support the team, providing them with smart data-driven insights and equipment.”
