Ireland u20s 6 nations and world championship 2026

Derry Moloney looks a real talent in attack with good pace, but on at least three occasions he’s been guilty of not throwing the pass when he needed to to put a teammate away.

Johnny O’Sullivan scores there if Moloney straightens the line and puts the pass in front of him.

An absolutely amazing try. Phenomenal finish from Noah Byrne.

This is superb stuff from Ireland.

Brilliant

Pass to make that last English try was quality.

If we follow precedent, making a forward pass under no pressure shouldn't mean you go back for the scrum

Ref deems Irish advantage over immediately there when Johnny O’Sullivan’s kick sliced into touch, and England score from the resultant lineout, but a few mins later Finn knocks on, England get a clear line break and throw it forward and get to come back for their advantage.

Poor consistency but he’s been good tonight this ref.

Lots of Irish candidates for MotM - Carney was superb, O’Connell, Wood, O’Leary, Maguire, Byrne all excellent but I’d probably give it to Josh Neill again.

Wood’s gone off - that was Charlie O’Shea.

Josh Neill gets MotM two weeks on the bounce. He’s still just 18 years old.

Leinster have gotten a special talent here. Reminds me a lot of Caelan Doris in how he plays.

Frustrating to leak the late try that’s worth two BPs to the English, but doesn’t take away from a cracking win.

Brilliant, chalked off.

Big win.

After 2 of the most dispiriting weeks in rugby at senior, A level and U20 level, this has brought a smile back to Irish rugby. Bravery, intelligence and skill. 24 points to 7 in the second half. Take a bow, lads
