Open Training Session In Ballina Killaloe RFC This Friday

The Munster Rugby men’s team will have their third open training session of pre-season this Friday, August 21, at Ballina Killaloe RFC from 11am until 1pm.

Training will take place at Clarisford Park (Eircode: V94 DWP7).

Throughout the 2026/27 season, the Munster Rugby men’s team will take part in open training sessions in each county in the province.

Over the past fortnight, the team have trained at Thurles RFC and Newcastle West RFC. See the best pics from Thurles here and from Newcastle West here.

Sessions will also be held in Cork, Waterford and Kerry later in the season with further details to be confirmed in due course.

Supporters will have the chance to watch team training before meeting players and coaches afterwards for selfies and autographs — a fantastic way to engage with the team and show their support.

Connecting with our supporters at open training sessions in Ennis RFC, Rockwell College and Castleisland RFC were big highlights of last year’s pre-season training programme and we are looking forward to getting out to meet supporters of all ages once again this year.

Munster Rugby Head of Rugby Development Colm McMahon said: “This is a brilliant initiative and one we’re really excited about as it gives us the chance to bring the men’s squad out to communities right across the province.

“Our clubs play such an important role in the game here in Munster, and these sessions are a great way for young players, families and supporters to meet the squad, watch training and feel part of the wider Munster Rugby community.

“The players and staff love getting out to clubs and connecting with people around the province, so we’re really looking forward to visiting each county during the season.”
