O'Hara to captain Ireland U-18

PBC Cork’s Brian O’Hara will have the honour of leading the Ireland U-18 Schools team in his home town when they play Wales tomorrow evening in their first game of the U-18 Schools Six Nations festival in Musgrave Park.

The game is the first of three for Ireland in a festival which brings the top age grade players together from the Six Nations. There have been two changes to the Ireland squad that was originally announced for the festival with both Ray Crotty and Nevin Spence pulling out due to injury and they have been replaced by Craig O’Hanlon and Gavin Nugent.
