The IRFU is pleased to today announce that Tadhg Furlong has signed a two-year contract extension and Andrew Porter has signed a new two-year contract with Ireland and Leinster Rugby until July 2027.
Furlong, who made his Ireland debut against Wales in 2015, has made 78 Test appearances in green, winning three Guinness Men’s Six Nations titles.
The tighthead prop remains a cornerstone of Ireland’s scrum and his experience invaluable to Andy Farrell‘s side as the squad build towards Rugby World Cup 2027 in Australia.
In addition to his achievements with Ireland, Furlong was a key player for the British and Irish Lions in 2017 and 2021, with his consistently influential performances in green, red and the blue of Leinster earning him a place in the World Rugby Dream Team in 2021, 2022 and 2023.
Since making his senior Leinster debut in November 2013, Furlong has played 149 times for the Province to date, winning four Pro12/Pro14 titles and the European Champions Cup.
Porter, who started all 11 of Ireland’s Tests in 2024, has established himself as an integral member of Andy Farrell‘s squad and his long-term commitment to Irish Rugby is another boost heading towards the 2025 Guinness Men’s Six Nations.
The 28-year-old loosehead prop made his Test debut against USA in 2017 and has gone on to earn 70 caps in green, winning three Guinness Men’s Six Nations titles and featuring at the 2019 and 2023 Rugby World Cups.
Porter has played 128 times for Leinster since making his senior debut for the Province in September 2016, winning four Pro12/Pro14 titles and the European Champions Cup, while scoring 18 tries.
