NEC Halrequins Paul Burke and Gavin Duffy have been selected for the Ireland squad for the forthcoming RBS Six Nations Championships.
Everyone at Quins would like to offer their congratulations to both players, especially to Gavin as this is the first time he has been selected to play for his country.
This is the first season at Quins for Gavin, who has impressed coaches and supporters alike, with his quiet determination and passion with which he trains and plays. Gavin played for Connacht before joining Quins.
Paul Burke is a Quins stalwart, who has played for Ireland and Ireland A and was unlucky not to go to the World Cup with the Irish squad last year.
Congratulations to Gavin and Paul and we wish them all the best for the Six Nations.
Rugby World Cup winners Jason Leonard and WIll Greenwood have been selected for the England squad. We would like to wish them both further success playing for their country!
