Ireland Under-20 2024 Team

All that because we couldn't catch a simple kick…this Irish side is so frustrating to watch. Get off to a good start then make a silly mistake and get brutally punished for it.

We better switch on, this was part of the reason we almost lost the game at home.

EDIT - The other reason was falling off so many tackles which has again happened and now has put us in this position defensively.

Im not sure about going for the corner consistently here. Despite was @[Deleted User] said I actually do have respect for Italy and fear if we keep going for the corner and Italy keep repelling us it will lead to Italy gaining confidence and us doubting ourselves which in the end will give Italy a much better chance of victory.

Only 20 minutes gone in the other game but interestingly Georgia lead 5-3! The bookies only have Australia by 8 so they think it will be a close game.

And we got the BP try in less than 30 minutes, something we failed to do in 80 minutes in the 6N which ultimately cost us the whole tournament, and with ball in hand I've been very impressed!

Finn Treacy is doing a very good Hugh Gavin impression, literally looks like a carbon copy of him ball in hand.

Oliver Coffey does need to get to the ruck quicker though, feel at least 2 Italy nearly turned us over from him getting too slowly to the ruck or not getting there at all. Just nit picking though.

It's only ever a yellow card.
