Underage teams begin pre-season preparations
It’s not just the senior team that have started their preparations for the new campaign.
On Wednesday, the Leinster TV cameras visited a screening day for the Leinster Rugby U18, U19 and U20 teams in St Laurence O’Toole Athletic Club in Askea, Carlow.
There, Provincial Talent coach Trevor Hogan spoke about the aims for the teams over the course of the summer programme and how players are selected for the squads, while Sub-Academy S&C coach Danny Wood spoke about the tests the players undergo and how they inform their training plans ahead of the Interprovincial Series.
