Campile native and NRRFC graduate, Tadhg Furlong, has seen his career advance in leaps and bounds over the last few weeks. Having virtually nailed down the reserve tight-head jersey for Leinster since the season start, Tadhg has gone on to score his first senior try, have his first European Cup outing when coming off the bench away v Castres to shore up a creaking scrum and a week later marking another significant milestone by having his first senior start in the Pro12 match at home v Edinburgh.
The rapid advances being made have increased expectations that it can only be a matter of time before Tadhg has to figure in an Irish squad.
