The Ireland Under-19, Under-18 Clubs and Under-18 Schools squads, sponsored by PwC, will assemble in Dublin this week for their first training camps of the 2020/21 season.
Coming off the back of the PwC Under-18 and Under-19 Interprovincial Championships, 96 players from the four provinces and the IQ Rugby pathway have been called up to train with the national age grade squads at the Sport Ireland Campus and King’s Hospital.
The Ireland Under-18 Clubs squad, coached by Brendan O’Connor, former Ireland international Kevin Maggs and Daryl Maxwell, assembled in Dublin yesterday to begin preparations for Saturday’s game against Italy at Stadio di Monigo (klick-off 3pm Irish time).
The Ireland Under-19s and Ireland Under-18 Schools will put the building blocks in place for the season ahead when they come together for three-day camps at the Sport Ireland Campus from Wednesday.
Aiden McNulty has been named as head coach of the Ireland Under-19s for the season ahead, with Andrew Browne and Mark Butler also part of the coaching team.
Head coach Paul Barr, meanwhile, will lead the Ireland Under-18 Schools side alongside assistant coach Andi Kyriacou.
Commenting ahead of this week’s camps, Peter Smyth, the IRFU Head of Elite Player Development, said: “The return of the national age grade squads is a real boost to everyone involved with the player pathway.
“Getting the opportunity to develop and assess players over the mid-term period is the first point of our national age grade season plan.
“The excellent work that the schools and clubs undertake are the bedrock of these national programmes.”
