This article highlights several standout players selected for the Ireland U20s squad facing England. It delves into their backgrounds, accomplishments, and unique playing styles, emphasizing their potential to shine on the international stage.
One of the true standouts of last year’s Leinster Schools Senior Cup, fullback Molony opened the scoring in Blackrock College’s semi-final victory over St Mary’s after just 18 seconds, scything his way through the Mary’s defence off first phase and taking one to the house from 40-odd metres.
Fahy is a product of Wexford Wanderers but he has ripped it up for Clontarf in AIL Division 1A this season having enjoyed his first taste of senior rugby with Enniscorthy during their 2023/24 campaign in 2C. Like his former Ireland Clubs teammate Fahy, Smyth has taken the road less travelled to U20 international level. The Cork man came through not at Pres or Christians but at Midleton RFC and Midleton College, where he sat the Leaving Cert last year.
