We thought they might have been a bit slow out of the blocks but Ireland U20’s hit the ground running with a six try 38 – 26 win against Scotland U20’s at Irish Independent Park on Friday evening.
The defining moment came at the end of a tight first half when a long range try from Jack Crowley pushed Ireland 21 – 12 clear at the break.
Ireland kicked on with three tries in the third quarter to move clear but Scotland hit back and rescued a try bonus point with the last play of the game.
IRELAND (21) 38
TRIES: Jack Crowley(2), Tom Clarkson, Andrew Smith, Thomas Ahern, John McKee.
CONS: Jack Crowley (4)
SCOTLAND (12) 26
TRIES: Ewan Ashman, Jack Blain, Nathan Chamberlain, Cameron Scott
CONS: Nathan Chamberlain (3)
