The sessions are a new offering for 2021 that will bring rugby into the classroom to help children learn in a fun and interactive way with six sets to be rolled out over the coming weeks.
Speaking about the initiative, IRFU Children & Youth Development Manager Colm Finnegan said:
“This is a really exciting development for the Aldi Play Rugby programme and a fun new way to help pupils achieve their potential.
“There’s plenty more to come after these sets, but it offers a real flavour of the resources that we’ll be making available and it shows just how many ways sport can be used to develop knowledge and character.:
