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.

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
