Ward pays tribute to legacy of Tullow man O’Brien

After Sean O’Brien singlehandedly flew the flag for the club during the past decade, Tullow RFC now have a new favourite son in the shape of Ireland U20s prop Charlie Ward.

A member of the squad for the 2019 World Championship in Argentina, Ward has featured in the opening two rounds of this year’s Six Nations. He credits O’Brien for not just elevating his rugby career, but for inspiring the explosion of exploding the participation rates throughout the Co Carlow outfittown.
