Heartbreak for Ireland Under-20s as England clinch Six Nations title

breakingnews.ie

Ireland’s Under-20s could only watch as England secured the Six Nations title last night. England ran in seven tries, as they found the bonus point they needed in a 45-31 victory over France in Pau.

Ireland’s campaign ended an hour earlier with a bonus point win of their own, beating Scotland 36-0 at Musgrave Park in Cork.

Danny Sheahan scored two second half tries as Ireland secured a bonus point that set up an anxious wait for the England result.

Meanwhile, Ireland can secure back-to-back Six Nations championships for the first time since 2015 today. Just a draw against Scotland will be enough, but captain Peter O’Mahony said they’re going all out for the win.
