Ireland U20’s got their World Rugby Championship campaign off to a winning start on Tuesday afternoon with a scrappy 18 – 16 win against their Argentinian counterparts.

The team featured five Ulster players with Jacob Stockdale, Sam Arnold, Zack McCall, Alex Thompson and Lorcan Dow all starting. No Ulster scorers in this one though with the points coming from the boot with out half Joey Carbery, who slotted over five penalties, and his replacement Tomás Quinlan, who landed a monster winner from out wide with the last kick off the game.

The IRFU have reasonable coverage this time round with Match Report and Pictures here and World Rugby have released a highlights video, below.

This really is a fantastically brutal competition and despite the win Ireland now find themselves on the back foot with regards to top four qualification. A big win for New Zealand, against Scotland, in Ireland’s Pool . . .
