The IRFU has led tributes to former Leinster and Ireland coach Roly Meates following his death on Wednesday after a long illness.
Meates was hailed for a "lifetime service to Irish rugby", played as a prop for Dublin University, Wanderers and Leinster.
A dentist by profession, he caught the coaching bug at Trinity - where he was involved in preparing teams between 1966 and 1996 - and then for two different five-year periods at Leinster’s helm.
