Having moved to their headquarters to a new world class training facility in the UCD campus, Leinster Rugby came to us with an eight by five meter blank canvas; a wall that runs the full length of the players training area. We were asked to create something that would motivate and inspire players daily. The theme of the wall is what it means to play for Leinster, and it is populated by a myriad of photos and quotes from past players and legends expressing how much it meant to them to be a part of the Leinster Rugby team, the idea being that a player could look at the wall every day and see something different to spur them on and remind them of the wealth of heritage and history that has gone before them. At the end of the wall is a workable area with the statement ‘You Write the Future’, emphasising the roll each team member plays in the team’s future successes.
