“The focus will be on nurturing talent step by step, giving players the time, support and experience required to thrive at senior level in the near future.
“Development of talent will become critical to our future plans and we must acknowledge and begin that process now. The formation of this pathway reflects our commitment to building a sustainable future for Alport.
