Mike Prendergast’s side have benefitted from having their own distinct camp.
IRELAND’S CLASH WITH Wales on Saturday is the big one this weekend but having an A international to look forward to the following afternoon is a real bonus.
They have been training at the IRFU’s high performance centre this week, where Easterby’s senior team have also been preparing for their Wales game, but Ireland A are on their own training schedule and have been staying in a separate hotel. “We as a staff met last week just to get ahead of the game a small bit and when we came in, straight away we were able to connect,” says Prendergast.
Ireland have ramped up their training since Monday and will travel to Bristol tomorrow, with the matchday 23 due to be announced tomorrow afternoon. “The terminology as well, you’d mirror most of the stuff which we would do in the provinces as well. There’s a bit of a mix-and-match, so it was good to see the balance of how the Irish team run their days with their schedule, when they’re on it and when they’re off it, and the good balance the staff have created over a couple of seasons, just how comfortable they are with each other was interesting to see.
