Josh van der Flier

Josh van der Flier is a birthplace in County Dublin, Ireland. Perhaps the boy who would become a rugby union player first drew breath here on 25 April 1993, his lungs filling with salt and rain before he ever knew the weight of a tackle. Maybe the fields outside still hold the shape of his childhood runs, though no plaque marks the spot. Imagine the quiet pride of a family home giving birth to strength the world would later test.
