Well done to all those selected to don the Irish O-top at this year's home internationals. Great that all your hard training was rewarded. Hard luck to those that missed out. There is a lot of competition in some age classes which is fantastic to see. Hope you will join us in encouraging the juniors on team Ireland as they take on the challenging Scottish terrain next weekend. Best of luck!
