AIL steeled Brian Deeny for U20s test

Versatile Ireland U20s forward Brian Deeny has said that regular exposure to the All-Ireland League has helped him to prepare for the rough and tumble of underage international rugby.

The Wexford native has featured prominently for north Dublin club Clontarf over the past two seasons and was a part of their matchday squad for last May’s showpiece final defeat to Cork Constitution.
