Limerick players named in Ireland U19 squad for Christmas national camp

A NUMBER of Limerick players have been included in a 32-player Ireland Under-19 Men’s squad who will attend the upcoming national camp at the IRFU High Performance Centre in Blanchardstown.

The Dublin get-together will take place between December 28 and 30 and gives new Ireland U-19 head coach Aiden McNulty, and his assistants Jonathon Graham, Tommy O’Donnell, and Niall Annett, the chance to work closely with the group ahead of their 2026 matches.

The extended squad includes 21 players who toured South Africa with the Ireland Under-18 Schools side for last August’s U-18 Men’s International Series. Amongst them is Belvedere College prop Harry Goslin who captained his country twice in Paarl.
