The son of Leixlip native Trevor Brennan is preparing to line out for France in a few weeks after receiving his first call-up.
Joshua Brennan, son of Ireland and Leinster legend Trevor Brennan, has been called into the France rugby squad for the first time at the age of 22.
Brennan plays as a forward for the French side Toulouse where Trevor spent the latter part of his career.
Trevor Brennan earned 13 caps for Ireland and won two European cups with Toulouse before retiring in 2007.
Trevor, who started his career with Barnhall RFC in Leixlip, now runs a bar in Toulouse.
Joshua has played 69 times for Toulouse since his debut in 2020.
The youngster is one of eight uncapped players included in Fabien Galthie’s 42-man squad for the Autumn Internationals against Japan, New Zealand and Argentina next month.
Joshua’s older brother Daniel plays as a tighthead prop for Toulon.
