by Mark Doyle, 15 May 2008
Bob Casey will lead the Ireland A team during next month’s Churchill Cup.
The London Irish skipper was confirmed as the touring squad’s skipper on Thursday afternoon.
Casey is a part of the senior panel for the May 27 friendly with the Barbarians in Gloucester but the lock will link up with the rest of the A squad before they depart for Canada.
Meanwhile, Dave O’Mahony has been added to the coaching staff for the tournament. The former Ireland scrum-half will fulfill the role of assistant coach.
Ireland A kick off their Churchill Cup campaign with a clash against co-hosts USA on June 11.
