Ireland's Hugh Cooney in action against Italy in December.
With just four weeks to go until their U20 Six Nations opener against Wales, Ireland U20s, sponsored by PwC, continue their Championship preparation with their third and final challenge match of the festive period against Leinster Development on Friday at Energia Park (Kick-off 2pm).
Richie Murphy‘s extended squad have enjoyed valuable run outs against Italy and Munster Development either side of Christmas, building towards the Six Nations opener against Wales at Colwyn Bay on Friday, 3 February.
The Ireland coaching team have again named an extended Match Day squad for Friday’s encounter against Leinster in Dublin, with Head Coach Murphy using this window to explore his squad options ahead of the 2023 Championship defence.
