Memories of standing up to the All Blacks in Japan in '09 inspiring Ruddock brothers
Not many siblings get to share one World Cup experience together but the Ruddock boys are now in the midst of their second.
It's 10 years since Ciaran and Rhys Ruddock were part of a talented Ireland U20s side that travelled to Japan to compete in the Junior World Cup. Now here they are again, back in the Land of the Rising Sun with Rhys a member of Joe Schmidt's squad and Ciaran on board as a strength and conditioning coach.
