For some kids, playing sport is the start of a long dream to making it as a professional to be the best in the world. For others, it's just a way to have fun.
Seven-year-old Ryan Totten falls into the second category. Ryan has been playing tag rugby for the last three years in his home town of Coleraine, and has fallen in love with the sport.
But unfortunately, Ryan has gotten to the age that he can take part in contact rugby - and he is being forced to retire due to health and safety fears.
Ryan's vision means that he needs to wear goggles - similar to ex-Leinster outhalf Ian McKinley. These sport or rugby goggles are currently on trial by World Rugby - Scotland and Italy are trialling the googles, but the IRFU are not one of the testing unions. This means that they aren't allowed to be worn whilst playing rugby at any level in Ireland.
Which means that seven-year-old Ryan isn't allowed to play the game he loves.
Last April, Ryan was told to leave the pitch due to this ruling. His mother said that Ryan was "upset, embarrassed and disappointed" that he couldn't play.
When he got home, he said he got kicked out of rugby - these are his words - 'because of the way he was made'.
The IRFU have made a decision that no child can wear goggles at contact level. I do think he's being treated differently, he's at a disadvantage because he has no option but to have his vision corrected.
The IRFU have defended their position on the eyewear pending the results of the World Rugby trial, saying that it "must prioritise player safety at all times".
