The women’s Six Nations rugby tournament kicks off this weekend, with Ireland travelling over to Le Mans to take on the French. It marks 10 years since professional services group Aon first became the Irish team’s principal sponsor.

The group was the first official sponsor of the Irish team back in 2014 and has been involved since then.
