Years Playing: 4
College Team: UCD
Club Team: Ranelagh
What are you most looking forward to in the upcoming campaign: Being in the best shape of my life. Watching the team develop and exceeding everyone's expectations of us. Running my legs off while wearing the green jersey.
Anyone you're particularly looking to play alongside: Always good playing with Hogi and Ferguson, they make me look good. Also looking forward to playing with people I've never played with before. We're going to be awesome.
Personal Paragraph: Here is my favorite joke. It's long but well worth reading to the end:

So back when I was growing up on the mean streets of West Philadelphia I ask this really cute girl to go to prom with me, she says yes. The day of the prom, I go to a tailor to get a new suit- there was a long line. Next, I went to a limo service to rent a limo- there was an even longer line there. Next, I went to a flower shop to get the girl a batch of roses before picking her up- there was AN EVEN LONGER LINE there.
I pick her up and we go to the prom, there is a line to the entrance that soon resides. We go to the photo shoot to get a photo together, there is a line there too. We get hungry and decide to get food, there is a line there as well. We get thirsty, there is no punchline.

College Team: UCD

Club Team: Jabba the Huck

What are you most looking forward to in the upcoming campaign: Looking forward to playing with and against some of the best players in the world in this division. Even though there are a good few players on the team who I've played with before, it's great to get a chance to play on the same team as players I'd normally call opponents. Frenchy's coaching is incredible, and I can't wait to see how much everyone is going to improve during the season. Also, O-LINE. :D

Anyone you're particularly looking to play alongside: I'm excited to be playing with a lot of people... I love the fact that Brian always catches any kind of crappy dump passes I throw at or away from him. :P I also owe Keith a clean jersey or two for some great recovery catches, but that can be said of everybody on the O-line so far. As for D-line, I've only been able to admire the players from the sideline so far, but I've played with a lot of the guys before, and I must say I'm disappointed that I might not get to be on the same line as them this summer, but delighted we'll all be wearing green!

Years Playing: 3

College Team: UCC

Club Team: Juice

What are you most looking forward to in the upcoming campaign:  Playing with the people who I've been competing against at the top level for the past three years. A lot of guys and girls on this team who I'd always admired, and wished had been playing with me rather than against!

Anyone you're particularly looking to play alongside: Everyone, really. We're all on this team for a reason; and everyone has great skill and potential. Admittedly, it will be nice not having to battle with the likes of Keith and Liam for once!

Personal Paragraph: "Just a heads-up to anybody on the team that doesn't know already; but I do have the tendency to sleep at pretty much any given opportunity. So don't be surprised if I go missing for a few hours during tournaments; I'm probably just snoozing. But I am great craic, I swear! I tell awesome jokes. Like, what's blue and can't sing? Blue."
