Former NUIM Barnhall and Castleknock College player Martin Moore has earned glowing praise from his coaches at Leinster and is targeting his first starts in the coming campaign with the Blues having made several appearances off the bench.

He made six outings with Ireland Under-20 and was a key part in the squad that competed in the 2011 Six Nations. Team-mates in that squad included Tiernan O'Halloran, Jordi Murphy and J. J. Hanrahan.
On 2 February 2014, Moore made his debut for Ireland in the 2014 Six Nations Championship win against Scotland.[3]
