The squads will train at the IRFU High Performance Centre from December 27 to 29. This is the second of a series of training camps for the Ireland Under-18s that will build up to a final squad for the U18 Six Nations Festival, which takes place in March and April next year. The Ireland Under-19s will also have further training camps ahead of a series of matches against France and Wales in April. **Neil Doak** and **Brendan O’Connor** will coach the Ireland U18s, while **Kieran Hallett, Andrew Browne** and **Jonathon Graham** will take charge of the Ireland U19s at the camps. Speaking about the selection, **Wayne Mitchell**, IRFU National Talent Squad and Talent ID Manager, said: We’re delighted to be bringing in these two squads in December, and I want to congratulate all of the players selected for this camp. “We saw some of these lads in action during the Interpros and others who have impressed for their club or school. This is a great opportunity to train at the High Performance Centre and to further their rugby development.” ## **IRELAND UNDER-19 Training Squad:** Aaron O’Brien (St. Mary’s College/Leinster)
