News: Rugby + Land Rover = Irish victory?


Hmmm. Last week, we published a little piece on Irish rugby captain Jamie Heaslip picking up his shiny new Land Rover Discovery. And then, Ireland went out and utterly thrashed Wales in the opening game of the RBS 6 Nations. Coincidence? We think not! So here's a photo of the lovely Amy Huberman picking up her new Range Rover Evoque...
Amy, who's not just Brian O'Driscoll's wife but also a fine actress in her own right and a Land Rover Brand Ambassador, has taken delivery of her new Evoque.

Amy has been a Land Rover ambassador since the launch of the Range Rover Evoque in 2011.  In that time, she has driven both the compact coupe model and the five-door version, with its contemporary design and superb accessibility. Presumably, she's switching to a five-door in anticipation of the arrival of her first baby. Wrestling baby seats into the back of the three-door is not to be recommended...

Land Rover's head of Irish PR Melanie McCourt told us that the Evoque is "the smallest, lightest most fuel efficient Range Rover ever produced, and with more than 110 global awards under its belt, the Evoque has gained critical acclaim since its launch.  With a choice of three engines, two body styles, three design themes and an extensive range of options and accessories, the Range Rover Evoque offers drivers significant choice over a wide range of price points.  Prices start from €41,935.  And with Land Rover’s patented Terrain Response® technology, the Evoque masters all surfaces and all weathers."

On receiving the keys to her new Land Rover, Amy Huberman said: “I’m thrilled with my new Evoque.  I’ve really enjoyed driving it over the past year and I’m delighted to drive it home again today.”


Right, that should be us sorted for the England game on the 10th. COME ON IRELAND!!!!!!

News: Jamie Heaslip tackles a new Discovery


You may have noticed some excitement amongst rugby-loving friends this week as anticipation mounts ahead of the opening games of the RBS 6 Nations championship, starting on Saturday with Ireland v Wales. Frankly, we know as much about rugby as the back side of the moon, but hey, here's Ireland captain Jamie Heaslip picking up his shiny new Land Rover Discovery this morning! A band-wagon-jumping we will go...

A self-proclaimed Land Rover enthusiast, Jamie Heaslip was delighted to take delivery of his new Discovery 4: “I’ve been driving the Discovery for almost two years now and it is the perfect vehicle for my lifestyle.  It really is in a class of its own and I’m thrilled to continue driving it this year”.

Land Rover Ireland General Manager, Eddie Kavanagh said: “Land Rover has a well-established relationship with Rugby and as well as supporting Rugby World Cup 2015 in England, the company are also Global Sponsors of The British & Irish Lions for their Tour to Australia 2013.

"Jamie is an excellent brand ambassador for Land Rover in Ireland and I would like to wish him and all his teammates continued success and the very best of luck this Saturday.


"Now in its fourth iteration, the Discovery is an unparalleled vehicle with class-defining versatility and all-round capability.  It can seat seven passengers, can tackle the most challenging off-road conditions and delivers superb on-road refinement.  Featuring a powerful and highly efficient TDV6 3.0 litre diesel engine, fresh exterior and premium cabin, it is the ultimate all-purpose vehicle.
