The Ireland Under-18 Schools squad will assemble in Dublin this week for their first training camp of the season.
Head Coach Paul Barr will lead the Ireland Under-18 Schools in the upcoming season alongside Assistant Coach Andi Kyriacou.
Players from the four Provinces and the IQ Rugby pathway have been called up to train with the National Age Grade squad at the Sport Ireland Campus after the PwC Under-18 Interprovincial Championship.
The Ireland Under-18 Schools will put the building blocks in place for the season ahead when they came together for a three-day camp at the Campus on Wednesday.
Commenting ahead of this week’s camps, Peter Smyth, the IRFU Head of Elite Player Development, said: “The return of the National Age Grade squads is a real boost to everyone involved with the player pathway.
“Getting the opportunity to develop and assess players over the mid-term period is the first point of our National Age Grade season plan.
“The excellent work that the schools and clubs undertake are the bedrock of these National programmes.”
