Ireland U20 coach Mike Ruddock has named a panel of 28 players for the 2014 RBS U20 6 Nations Championship which includes six Munster players.
Cork Constitution FC are represented by hooker Max Abbott, former PBC player, along with his front row colleague tight-head Rory Burke, who also competed in the Schools Senior Cup last season for CBC.
Munster Academy scrum-half Jack Cullen from Bruff RFC has been named along with fellow backs Young Munster’s Dan Goggin, former St. Munchin’s College centre, and winger Alex Wootton from Garryowen FC.
Jack O’Donoghue, Munster Academy and UL Bohemians back row has also been named in the squad for the second consecutive year.
PwC U20 Head Coach, Mike Ruddock, commented, "We have a very competitive group this year with a number of players gathering invaluable experience with provincial A sides and in the Ulster Bank League. We have a good record at Dubarry Park and we will be looking to build on strong home form ahead of two difficult away fixtures.”
