Dream week for Murphy as Ireland U20s sweep aside Wales

Ireland U20s 43-8 Wales U20s

Richie Murphy completed a landmark week on and off the field with a bonus-point victory over Wales that extends Ireland's U20 Six Nations Grand Slam ambitions.

Seán Edogbo and Henry Walker put in impressive displays on their first starts, which were rewarded with tries, before replacement hooker Danny Sheahan added a brace. Hugh Gavin and Ben O’Connor completed the set of six tries to the delight of a sold-out Virgin Media Park.

Bray-native Murphy will take over as interim Ulster head coach next month after the conclusion of the U20 Six Nations but first is the matter of a third consecutive Grand Slam bid.
