The IQ Rugby Under-18s recently took part in the ten-day IRFU U-18 Interprovincial Festival at the University of Limerick. We hear from coaches and players about their path to a green jersey and their experience at the tournament.

In August over 200 young players assembled in the University of Limerick for the inaugural IRFU Under-18 Interprovincial Festival. The campus setting was designed to introduce both players and coaches to a professional environment and the ten-day long festival provided opportunities for personal and playing development on and off the pitch.

The IRFU is hosting a new-look Under-18 Interprovincial Rugby Festival over the next 10 days at the University of Limerick which will feature eight representative sides and over 200 players.
