Caelan Doris (born 2 April 1998) is an Irish rugby union player for Pro14 and European Rugby Champions Cup side Leinster. He plays as a number 8.
Early life
Born in Mayo to Dublin parents, Doris attended boarding school from the age of 12 onwards at Blackrock College in Dublin, where he was a member of the victorious Leinster Schools Rugby Senior Cup team in 2014 as well as captaining the 2016 side.
Leinster
After leaving school in 2016, Doris spent a year in the Leinster Rugby sub-academy before entering the academy in summer 2017. After a series of outstanding performances captaining the Ireland Under-20s, Doris was promoted two years early to Leinster's senior squad ahead of the 2018–19 season, after just one year in the academy, and having made his senior debut the previous season.[1]
Ireland
Doris played for Ireland Under-20s in both 2017 and 2018, captaining them in the 2018 World Rugby Under 20 Championship. Despite a poor campaign from Ireland, he was one of the standout players of the tournament.[2] He has 14 Ireland under-20 caps despite being injured for the entire 2018 Six Nations Under 20 Championship.[3]
