OTB Rugby

In March of this year the IRFU launched a series of combines to identify high potential athletes from other sports and introduce them to the elite rugby performance pathway.
OTB's Susanna Mollen and Rachel Sheehan joined in at the second, Dublin-based combine in DCU where they chatted to a number of IRFU staff about the goals of the combines and potential backlash from other sporting organisations.
Back in studio with Eoin, Susanna reports back on what news came out of the St. Pats campus. Want to watch the full piece? Check it out here: https://youtu.be/x18EaBVbGCU
