Ulster Bank League profiles: Dublin University face uphill task as Division 1A newcomers

"It was a benchmark in underage rugby, you had to play well in the U20 interpros to play for Ireland. All its doing now is helping the pro game instead of the U20 game."

Dublin University, or Trinity, aren’t in a favourable position, having been staggered with injuries of five players, all recovering from shoulder surgeries.

The newcomers of Division 1A are faced with an uphill task ahead of their Ulster Bank League season.
