Jacob Stockdale living the dream at World Rugby U20 Championship

It has been some year for Jacob Stockdale and the Newtownstewart native is hoping to crown it by helping Ireland win the World Rugby U20 Championship tomorrow evening.

Stockdale is one of just a handful of survivors from last year’s tournament in Italy but he made rapid progress in the Ulster academy on his return.

But a young man who is studying criminology at UUJ, it’s no mystery what his success is down to — sheer hard work.
