Former Kilkenny College player making Ireland U-20s Six Nations debut tonight

Former Kilkenny College player Charlie Tector will be making his Ireland U-20s Six Nations debut at out-half against Wales in Musgrave Park in Cork later this evening.

Tector has shown a recent ability to thrive under pressure and his assuredness in the green '10' jersey has undoubtedly pleased Head Coach Richie Murphy.

"We have been building towards Friday for a number of weeks now and the group have put in a huge amount of work in preparation for the Six Nations," Murphy said.

"The prospect of returning to Cork and playing in front of a big crowd, including family and friends, is a really exciting one for the players and the management team."

ASLAN are coming back to Kilkenny to play in a very unique venue!

Tector, from Wexford, currently plays for Lansdowne FC but his school performances for Kilkenny College will have the black and amber contingent rooting for him tonight.

Ireland v Wales kicks off at 8pm and will be broadcast live on RTÉ2.
