Aviva is the proud sponsor of the home of Irish Rugby, Aviva Stadium where fans can cheer on their heroes from the best seat in the house during some of our most exciting sporting moments. In previous instalments of the series, Peter O’Mahony and Bundee Aki shared the best seats in their own homes. For the third chapter, another front-row powerhouse, tighthead prop Tadhg Furlong, invited us in to show us his favourite spot.

Best Seat in the house - Tadhg Furlong
A Look Inside Tadhg’s Home Life in Wexford and His Rise in Irish Rugby
Coming from a farming family in County Wexford, Tadhg also has a background in Gaelic football and hurling, but it was rugby where he truly found his stride, starting at underage level with New Ross RFC. Since making his Irish debut in 2015, his trophy cabinet has grown steadily, including a British & Irish Lions tour win in Australia and Ireland’s fourth Triple Crown in the Guinness Men’s Six Nations in 2025.
Off the pitch, Tadhg loves nothing more than spending time at home in County Wexford with his wife and their little girl. He kindly welcomed us in for a look around and a chat and showed us his favourite seats in the house. Whether it’s putting his “feet up on the pouf,” watching the “little fella” cut the grass in the garden, or reminiscing about his granny’s pork chops and gravy, where he spends time with his family is where he calls home.
