redirect back to client ONLY IF URI contains /apps

I want to create an irule redirect that would only be sent back to the client if the URI contains a "/apps". For example, if user browsers to site1.abc.com...traffic is handled normally by F5 and sent to site1 pool, if user browses to site1.abc.com/assets...traffic is handled normally by F5 and sent to site1 pool. But if user browses to site1.abc.com/apps, then I want the irule to send back redirect to client to go to site2.abc.com/apps.

Below is a simple redirect irule that I got from DevCentral...and I modified it a bit to fit my situation. Would this irule redirect the client's request for "site1.abc.com/apps" to "site2.abc.com/apps" ?

when HTTP_REQUEST {

if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "site1.abc.com/apps" } {
    HTTP::redirect "http://site2.abc.com/apps"
}

}

irule redirection

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
    switch -glob -- [string tolower [HTTP::path]] {
        "/apps" -
        "/apps/" {
            HTTP::redirect "http://site2.abc.com/apps/"
        }
    }
