This week the IRFU announced the National Talent Squad Inductees for 2022/23 Season. Among the 85 selected are Lansdowne’s Adam Deay and James Doyle.

The NTS programme has been in existence since 2016 and its purpose is to identify, develop and support players who have the potential, ability, and drive to play professional rugby within Ireland. The aim of the programme is to accelerate the development of young players of national interest between the ages of 16-21. The services provided prepare players to perform within the provincial and national pathways and the transition to the senior professional game.
