Accompanied by parents and coaches, the mini rugby stars made their way to the iconic home of Irish rugby for a day that will live long in their memories.

Former Munster and Ireland flanker David Wallace, who was on hand to meet the players, commented "A day like today will be locked in the memory banks of these young players forever.”

"Mini rugby is great for player development and personal development and to play here at the Aviva Stadium is such a fantastic opportunity."

Each team ran onto the pitch to a fanfare before taking part in four matches throughout the day. There was also a tour of the Ireland dressing room included for good measure and a goodie bag courtesy of Aviva to take on the long bus journey home.
