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

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.

Kick-off at the Aviva Stadium is at 4.45pm.

Super Saturday begins in Cardiff, with the wooden spoon decider between Wales and Italy.

Should Ireland slip-up, France and England will look to capitalise in Lyon from 8pm.
