The Highlanders would ultimately go down to The Crusaders.
23 year old Offaly man Jack Regan made his Super Rugby debut for The Highlanders in New Zealand this morning.
They ultimately went down 26-13 to The Crusaders.
Nevertheless, it was a fantastic achievement for the Birr lock, having only moved down under last year, after being released by Ulster.
Jack also participated in the Haka...

Can’t wait to see Jack Regan’s Landers debut tonight . What an achievement , well deserved after taking a massive risk to come over to play club rugby in dunedin a week before Lockdown. Played his way into the Otago squad and impressed massively. So proud of the Birr Man ❤️

Safe to say Jack Regan first Offaly man to do the haka - fantastic @DuignanMichael @daithi_regan https://t.co/Nz0Qfokb8t
