Posted Oct 23, 2019
UNC punter and Dublin, Ireland native Ben Kiernan admits growing up, his aim was to make the Senior Cup rugby team with Blackrock College. "I really didn’t know anything about football until I played here. The most I knew was from playing Madden on the computer. My parents decided to move to North Carolina in 2015 but I knew rugby wasn’t as big." (Irish Sun)
