THERE WAS OFFALY and Limerick hurling interest in the Ireland U19 rugby side that lost out 18-9 against France this afternoon in Garryowne FC at Dooradoyle in Limerick.
UCD student Jack Regan, son of Offaly All-Ireland winning hurler Daithi, lined out for Ireland in the game after being capped at U18 level last year and captaining the Leinster U18′s in the interprovincial series.
