IRISH rugby fans will be able to spy on the international team's training sessions over the internet ahead of today's big match against Australia thanks to a Wicklow-based start-up company.
Videos On The Net, set up by former Sky Ireland sports reporter John Sherwin, has sealed a deal with the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) to produce content for its website www. irfu. ie.
The company put together footage of the Irish team training in the lead-up to the autumn internationals against South Africa and today's match against Australia. It will continue to document the team's progress in preparing for next week's clash with the Paci"c Islands.
"I would hope on the back of the IRFU that the provincial teams will get on [the service] as well as the other sporting organisations, " said Sherwin.
The company has also produced corporate web videos including "lms of new homes for property developers to use on sites such as Myhome. ie. Sherwin believes the corporate market could prove lucrative for the "edgling company which he founded with the help of a grant from the Wicklow County Enterprise Board. "I based it on stuff I had seen on the internet but nobody in Ireland , as far as I could see, was doing it, " he said.
