A little Laois girl will do her family and friends proud as the Irish Rugby Mascot for the upcoming Six Nations rugby game against Wales.

Under 9’s player for Portarlington Rugby Club, Fiadh Lawlor, has been selected by Aldi in their ‘Ireland’s biggest little fan’ competition to walk out with the Irish squad as an Official NatWest Six Nations 2018 mascot.

Fiadh will walk out with the boys in green on Saturday, February 24 for their game against Wales in the Aviva. Nine year old Fiadh goes to school in Emo and has played rugby from the age of five for Portarlington Rugby Club. There was great excitement when Fiadh, her mam and her dad all received tickets for the Presidential box at the Aviva for the game.

Best of luck to Fiadh and the boys in green next weekend!
