Ireland Underage Squads Named For December Camps At IRFU HPC

The PwC-sponsored Ireland Under-18 Schools, Under-18 Clubs & Schools, and Under-19 squads have been named ahead of three-day camps planned for December 28-30 at the IRFU’s High Performance Centre on the Sports Ireland Campus.

The squads attended camps in late October with the Ireland Under-18 Clubs team playing a fixture against their Italian counterparts in Treviso.

A lot of these players would have featured in the PwC Underage Interprovincial Championships in August, while 15 players across the three squads were not involved in those series of games.

The Ireland U-19 squad will be coached by Kieran Hallett (head coach), Andrew Browne (assistant coach) and Mark Butler (assistant coach).

The Ireland U-18 Schools squad will be coached by Paul Barr (head coach) and Andi Kyriacou (assistant coach), while the U-18 Clubs & Schools squad will be coached by Fiach O’Loughlin (head coach) and Jonathon Graham (assistant coach).

There are 40 National Talent Squad players selected across the three squads.
