Speaking on behalf of Leinster Rugby,
Marcus Ó Buachalla, who manages the

meet the team from Children in Hospital
Ireland here this morning, but more so, to
meet some of their volunteers and some
of the parents and the children that have

month ahead the great work that they
do.”
Leinster Rugby also confirmed that Bank
of Ireland would continue to support
the charity partner scheme again this
