Fitzgerald, a former British & Irish Lions, Ireland and Leinster player, commenting on his role said: “Aviva Stadium has created so many special occasions for players and fans from all around the world and the prospect of witnessing the Guinness PRO12 Final there is creating a great buzz across the Championship.”
