Land Rover Bishopstown was recently transformed into a live event space as we hosted our exclusive Defender Rugby Night, welcoming customers and friends of the brand for Ireland v France.

The evening began with a pre-match panel discussion and Q&A featuring Peter O'Mahony and Stephen Archer, expertly emceed by Frankie Sheehan. Guests enjoyed a candid and engaging conversation covering leadership, preparation, high-performance environments and the intensity of major international fixtures.

The discussion set the tone for what was a fantastic evening, before attention turned to the big screen for the live match screening. With the showroom reimagined for the occasion and hospitality served throughout, the event created a relaxed yet premium atmosphere that reflected the strength and character of the Defender brand.

Events such as this form an important part of how we engage with our community — creating opportunities for customers to connect, share experiences and enjoy memorable evenings beyond the traditional showroom setting. We would like to sincerely thank everyone who attended and contributed to such a positive and energetic atmosphere on the night.
