Can someone tell me how one of the the brightest young prospects in irish rugby is STILL out of the squad? (Tiernan O'Halloran). If it was "disciplinary" as one member of this forum has suggested then he must have done something pretty bad to not get into the team 3 weeks in after a rather lethargic performance against a less than impressive French side. All the same i expect England to win this one, too much experience in there for Ireland to cope with. Most of these lads are in and around their GP sides and a good few have already made their debuts! Dunno why McKinney is starting again after another dull performance and it was pretty clear that both Kingston and Heaney made an instant impact when they came on against Italy and France.

Also this game doesn't look like its on tv. Sky usually show the England U20 home games but not this week and RTE are showing the Wales French match so they cant fit it in.

AFAIK England U 20's don't play France U 20's until the weekend the Senior sides meet ie. the last weekend of the 6 nations. France under 20;'s have drawn with Scotland and beaten Ireland while England u 20's hammered Wales and beat Italy less convincingly. Great win for Ireland but interesting to see England line up as they lost some players for the Italy game due to Premiership clubs calling on them for GP action.

didn't see it - but super result -Conway looks the real deal, maybe in time for a World Cup

- open the pic and they look happy (except Conway :-) )
