Early life

Young Munster and academy

Phillips represented his native province of Munster at various underage levels, including under-18, under-19 and under-20. [1] He was part of the Young Munster team that defeated Garryowen 11–8 to win the 2021–22 Munster Senior Cup in March 2022. [2]

Munster

After a series of strong performances for Munster's A team, including in the Celtic Cup, Phillips was rewarded with a place in Munster's academy in January 2021. [3] Phillips made his senior competitive debut for Munster in their 2022–23 United Rugby Championship round three fixture against Italian club Zebre Parma on 1 October 2022, [4] but was released by the province's academy upon the conclusion of the 2022–23 season. [5]

Ireland

Having previously represented Ireland at under-18 and under-19 level, [1] Phillips was selected in the under-20s squad for the 2019 Six Nations Under 20s Championship. [6] He started in the 35–27 win against England [7] and the 24–5 win against Scotland, [8] as Ireland secured their first grand slam in the tournament since 2007. [9] Phillips missed the 2019 World Rugby Under 20 Championship in Argentina due to injury. [10]

Phillips received his first call up to the Ireland 7s team ahead of the International Rugby 7's tournament at St George's Park, England in May 2021, where they played hosts Great Britain and the United States. [11] He was also selected for the 2021 World Rugby Sevens Series. [12]
