Also in attendance were representatives from the Zimbabwe, Russia and Chilean U19 Management Teams. A special thanks must be expressed to the Australian Management Team, to the Ballyclare U18’s and to Ballyclare RFC for the use of their facilities. The evening was an extremely enjoyable event and will enable Ulster’s local coaches to enhance their knowledge on the delivery of the principles of the games of rugby.
