Talking Sport Podcast: Laois’s newest Irish rugby international Will Reilly on journey so far, GAA background and high hopes

Following the last quiet weekend on the GAA front for the foreseeable future, we have a very special interview for Monday’s edition of the Talking Sport Podcast.

Ballyfin’s Will Reilly, Laois’s newest Irish rugby international, joins Alan Hartnett to discuss his journey so far.

Reilly’s rise through the ranks has been very impressive over the last number of years.

Success with Portlaoise RFC followed on to North Midlands and then eventually led him to Leinster.

At the same time, Reilly was competing well on the GAA front as he represented the Laois minors and his club.

The defining moment came for him in May when he secured a place in the Ireland squad for the U-20 Six Nations.

In the same week, Reilly signed a pro contract with the Connacht Rugby academy.

His career is certainly on an upward trajectory and Will has big hopes for the future too.
