Kilkenny rugby star named on Irish Squad for Under-20 World Cup
The major underage tournament kicks off later this month
Kilkenny rugby star Max Doyle has been named in the Ireland Under-20 squad for the upcoming Junior World Cup which takes place in Georgia in two weeks time.
Doyle began his rugby journey with Kilkenny RFC, playing with the club up to U13 level before moving on to boarding school at Clongowes and it’s a fantastic honour for the youngster.
The prop forward was also part of the Irish team that finished in second position behind France in the recent Six Nations Championship and they’ve been placed in a World Cup group alongside England, Argentina and the USA.
The first game sees Ireland take on old rivals England on Saturday June 27th where there is a 12.30pm start with all of the games taking place in the Avchala Stadium in Tbilisi.
All of Ireland’s games will be live on Premier Sports and RugbyPass TV.
