October Development Days

IRFU Exiles and IQ Rugby are delighted to offer an opportunity for players born in 2002, 2003 and 2004 to attend our October Development sessions.

The day (whichever you attend) will be an opportunity for you as a player to learn about the Ireland Rugby player pathway and have an opportunity to undertake training sessions to develop your core skills and game understanding. This is the first stage of the pathway which will see players progress to further development days later in the season.

Player wishing to attend can register by clicking here.

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.
