In Pics: Pre Season Work Continues For Underage Players
21st July 2016 By Munster Rugby
The Munster Under 18 Clubs and Munster U18 Schools representative sides are currently undergoing week three of the Bank of Ireland Munster Rugby Talent Camp training at Rockwell College.
Munster’s Under 17 Clubs Development squad joined the interprovincial sides yesterday for training as Munster continue to focus on the progression of its age grade players.
All three squads were put to their paces when former Munster lock Paul O’Connell joined the respective coaching sessions, offering tips and advice to the young players in the capacity of his new Munster Academy advisory role.

The Munster Development Squad (formally Munster U20s) and Munster U19 squad are following their Talent Camp programme in line with the Munster Academy at two centres in the Cork Institute of Technology and Limerick Institute of Technology.
Programmes include on-pitch activities, strength and conditioning sessions and player welfare tutorials focusing on diet and nutritional needs.
Throughout the camp it is envisaged that players will be identified for future development programmes as part of Munster Rugby's long term player development and overall objective in building for the future.
