Saol ar OTB | Eipeasóid 2 le Colm De Buitléir | Cúige Connacht | Ag streachailt le gortuithe

Bhí Colm De Buitléir ag teacht chun cinn trí na céimeanna i rugbaí An Ghaeltacht, agus ba é an chéad imreoir riamh ón gclub a chuaigh ar aghaidh chun imirt do Connacht. As teaghlach atá an-tógtha leis an rugbaí dó, d’imir a athair do Laighin ag leibhéal faoi aois agus imríonn a dheartháir do Connacht.

Ag imirt mar leathchúlaí scroba agus leathchúlaí oscailte, d’imir sé do Corinthians agus tháinig sé tríd an gcóras i Connacht, ag tuilleamh a chéad chaipín sinsir i gcoinne Bordeaux Bègles sa Challenge Cup in 2018.

Chuir gortuithe isteach ar a dhul chun cinn, agus d’fhág sé Connacht in 2021. Ina dhiaidh sin bhí sé mar chuid den fhoireann Terenure a bhuaigh a gcéad teideal AIL riamh in 2023.

Colm De Buitléir came through the ranks at An Gaeltacht Rugby and was their first ever player to go on to play for Connacht. From a rugby obsessed family, his Dad played for Leinster underage and his brother plays for Connacht.

At scrum half and out half he played for Corentians and came through at Connacht, earning his first senior cap against Bordeaux Beagles in the Challenge Cup in 2018.

De Buitléar has been plagued with injuries but has learned valuable life lessons from each one, leaving Connacht in 2021, he was part of the Terenure team that won their first ever AIL title in 2023
