Casey: We’re Battle-Hardened From Season Back Home

Craig Casey is on his first senior tour with the Ireland squad. He has five caps to his name and a single start against the USA last July. Casey has also played for the Under-20s in Argentina three years ago. The tour is taking place in New Zealand with 40 players and five matches. Five uncapped players will be hoping to get their first taste of international rugby. The players are from Ireland, New Zealander, Ireland and New York. They are playing Māori All Blacks on Wednesday. It is a year out from the Rugby World Cup. Ireland's last tour was cancelled last year.
