New Zealand-born rugby analyst and RTÉ pundit Brent Pope will launch his own range of men's shirts this week in partnership with Arnotts, the country's biggest department store.

Called Pope Shirts, prices start from €75. Pope has enlisted the help of Leinster and Ireland players Fergus McFadden and Ian Madigan for his launch at Arnotts tomorrow night.

Commenting on the range, Pope said: “I wanted to design shirts that were easy to wash and iron, that held their shape well, but most importantly felt and looked amazing on. I have always believed in investing in a great shirt that will stand the test of time especially to prevent colours fading and keeping their shape.”
