• Answer:

  Well if Devon trails are anything like Leinster trails then they look to see if you have the basic skills (passing, tackling and beating the defender), the specialist skills in your position (I'm a prop myself so I don't know what that involves) and they might play a couple of small games. So, practise simple things like passing off your bad hand, side stepping and running over players. They look for work rate, intensity and aggression in the games. They'll also look at your size. Get yourself weighed and measured. Exaggerate your weight a little bit if they ask.
