Ireland edit
Moloney was selected in the Ireland under-20s squad for the 2022 Six Nations Under 20s Championship when it was announced in January 2022,[6] and he made his competitive debut for the team in their 17–16 away win against France on 11 February.[7][8] Ireland went on to win the Grand Slam in the tournament.[9]
