Video: Emerging Schools Blitz Days
18th April 2016 By Munster Rugby
Munster Rugby have been running rugby blitz days throughout the province for secondary school pupils attending non-traditional rugby playing schools.
Pupils at Under 15 age grade representing schools from the six Munster counties, have been taking part in 11 aside rugby throughout the province, coordinated by Munster Community Rugby Officers.
This initiative has been developed to give young people attending non-traditional rugby playing schools the opportunity to play the sport and it is hoped they will continue to participate at their local club.
