Trinity is the oldest continuous rugby club in the world. They've been playing since 1854.
"We're thrilled to be hosting such a storied and successful rugby team in Trinity College Dublin", head coach Matt Sherman said. "The oldest continuous rugby club in the world playing since 1854. Their pace, skill, and physicality will provide us with a difficult challenge to open our season, but an opportunity we relish to test ourselves and grow in the process."
The No. 1 team for Trinity College currently plays in Division 1A of the All-Ireland League. The program also fields three junior teams who compete in the Leinster J1, J3 and J4 Metro Leagues.

CAPTAINS CORNER
Captain Tiaan Mosconi:
There is no greater feeling than being back on Warrior Field. Trinity College Dublin will be a great test for us. We are looking forward to the challenge on Friday night. The focus still remains on our collective climb as a team.
Vice Captain Dom Tianga:
The Brothers are excited for the opportunity to compete against an international team from Ireland this weekend. We have trained and prepared ourselves for the challenge this high level team will bring, and are eager to get the game underway to see how much we have improved in such a short amount of time. I am confident in the ability of the brothers and the tone we will set for the rest of the season.
