Teen sells Lego collection to fund dream rugby trip

A rugby-obsessed Galway teenager paid for the trip of a lifetime by selling his collection of Lego to fund two weeks of intensive coaching at a top sporting facility in New Zealand.

Jayden Murphy, 15, from Tuam, spent weeks over the summer reconstructing old Lego sets before eventually selling them on eBay to fund his visit to one of the world’s leading international rugby academies, the Inside Running Academy in Mt Maunganui, in the city of Tauranga.
