New Ireland international Van der Flier talks Wicklow, red scrum caps (and, yes, that name)

The Leinster back row is the focus of the fourth and final part of the province’s series of mini-docs.

THE ACADEMY, LEINSTER’S series of mini-documentaries over the past month, has given an interesting insight into some of the newer faces around the province’s senior team.

This week, the fourth and final instalment features one of the newest Ireland internationals about, Josh van der Flier.

If you’ve ever wanted to know more about the Leinster back row – say, the pronunciation of his name or just how lazy his house-mates can be – it’s well worth watching.
