Leinster young guns take a step towards top prize

There was some degree of befuddlement in UCD earlier this week when Ross Byrne and Ross Molony found themselves being quizzed on the possibility of featuring in a Rugby World Cup in Ireland in 2023.

Neither has yet earned so much as a cap for their country.

The findings of World Rugby’s technical committee have since poured cold water on that particular picture but both out-half and second row will hope to take another small step towards the game’s ultimate representative honours in Scotstoun this evening when Leinster take on the Glasgow Warriors.
