Career

Connacht

Rael started his career in his native province of Munster, being part of the team's academy and played for the amateur club Garryowen in the All-Ireland League. Ahead of the 2013–14 season, Rael signed a one-year development contract with fellow Irish provincial side Connacht.[1] He made his debut for Connacht on 28 September 2013, coming off the bench against Ospreys in the 2013–14 Pro12.

In April 2014, it was announced that Rael failed to secure a renewed contract and he would be leaving the province at the end of the season.[2]

Ireland

Rael has represented his country at under-age international level. He earned a total of nine caps for Ireland Under-20's, scoring a single try. Rael represented the team at the 2012 IRB Junior World Championship.[3]

gollark: I'll admit the code is a bit bad now but PotatOS Hypercycle is coming soon with *major* refactors.
gollark: <@!259973943060856833> Like what?
gollark: WRONG!
gollark: PotatOS is able to make omnidisks somewhat unduplicateable, *but* that only works because their value comes from being cryptographically signed and able to run in privileged mode on potatOS - you can run them anywhere else, it just won't be useful.
gollark: Anyway, you can't really copy-protect software in CC. At all. The best you can do is use a bunch of obfuscation techniques together to make it mildly hard to do anything with it, and add some code to check computer ID or something.
