Head Coach, Sana Govender, has named his squad to take on Munster in the opening round of the 2026 Vodafone Interprovincial Championship tomorrow, Saturday 8 August, at Virgin Media Park in Cork.
Kick-off is at 2.30pm, with the game being broadcast live on the Spórt TG4 YouTube channel.
Two Carlow players have been named in the starting XV, each at very different points in their respective careers.
At fly half is Dannah O'Brien - an international superstar who has excelled at the World Cup and is widely recognised as one of the best number tens in the game.
On the other end of the spectrum is Roisín Kinch, also from Tullow RFC, who will be one of four players making their debut for the province.
