With 15 players away with Ireland squads, Pete Wilkins and his coaching team have still been able to select a strong squad of 26 featuring a number of Academy players. Barrett, who earned his rugby stripes at Ballina RFC, played in the 2023 U-20 World Cup final against France in South Africa and has been making steady progress through the Connacht ranks since.
