This weekend marks the culmination of the season in many ways for the Exiles with their annual National Assessment Camp at Stowe School in Buckinghamshire.
This follows on from the Under-18 and Under-17 Inter-Regional Championships which were held at London Irish last month.
Thirty players from the Under-18 age group, and 50 from the Under-17 age group, will be attending, all with ambitions to equal the success of current Ireland Under-19 captain Conor Joyce.
There can be few venues in the country to match the beautiful setting of Stowe School - may it inspire the next crop of young Exiles!
Proceedings over the two days will be under the stewardship of Mark Blair, the IRFU Exiles Development Manager, while on-field activities will be directed by Peter Halsall, the Exiles head coach.
