TeamFRU out in force this weekend.

We are currently carrying out a necessary behind-the-scenes upgrade to how images are stored and delivered on The Front Row Union Sports. With over 770,000 images on the site, we are moving our entire image library to a dedicated cloud storage service. This means images will load faster for you, regardless of where you are in the world, and the site will be more reliable overall.

As we are working on three separate versions of images during the offload process, the site cache sometimes struggles to keep up with which version to display and occasionally post grid images or complete galleries may fail to appear. This is a temporary side effect of the migration process — the image exists and is safe, it is simply in the process of being moved to its new home and identified as being there. A refresh of the page will usually bring them back, however, if it does not please contact john@thefrontrowunion.com stating clearly the post address and we will restore it as soon as possible. We apologise for any inconvenience this causes and appreciate your patience.

We expect the bulk of the image migration to be completed by the end of June 2026, with a fully upgraded version of the site ready to launch in August 2026. Once that work is done, the site will be noticeably faster, images will load more reliably, and you will not see any further disruption of this kind. Thank you for your continued support of The Front Row Union Sports.

With the interprovincial series getting underway this weekend and with Ireland Women 7s competing in The European Sevens Grand Prix in Kazan, Russia we are delighted that host of TeamFRU players will be taking part in both competitions.

TeamFRU captain Brittany Hogan will be representing Ireland in the European Sevens Grand Prix where she will feature alongside Enniskillen’s Claire Boles in the second leg of the series which will be covered live here –

As expected, our players will also be featuring in the Women’s Interprovincials with Neve Jones, Beth Cregan, Ella Durkin, Vicky Irwin and Aishling O’Connell all running out for Ulster Women against Leinster, Enya Breen and Andrea Stock are named in the Munster Women’s side to face Connacht and Kelly McCormill is vice captain for Ulster U18 Women in their match against Connacht U18’s on Sunday.

The Front Row Union wish all our players the best of luck this weekend and we look forward to updating you on their adventures in the weeks to come. #TeamFRU
