Ireland Underage Squads To Gather For Christmas Camps

Ireland’s underage squads will gather at the IRFU’s High Performance Centre over the Christmas period between the 28-30th December for the second set of preparation camps to be held this season.

The squads previously assembled in early November for camps with the Ireland U18 Clubs squad travelling to Rome winning impressively 43-10 against their Italian counterparts.

Included in the Ireland U19 squad is Sean Edogbo, younger brother of academy player Edwin, while in the Ireland U18 Schools squad is St Munchin’s student Matt Te Pou son of the former Tongan international of the same name and younger brother of Munster Women’s player Aaliyah.

The squads will have a number of pitch sessions across the three-day camp culminating in in-house matches between the various squads.

In the spring of 2023, the squads will compete on the international stage with the U19s twice taking on their French counterparts, the Ireland U18s squad will compete in the U18s Six Nations Festival and the U18’s Clubs and Schools squad will play two international fixtures over the Easter break.
