IRELAND EXTENDED THEIR U20 Six Nations Grand Slam ambitions with a bonus-point win over Wales this evening.
Seán Edogbo and Henry Walker put in impressive displays on their first starts for Richie Murphy’s side, 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.

Great result for our under 20s. Well done.
Excellent result and promising for the future.
Won easily but not as great as last year. Not that every year at U20 has to be a title winning one. There just have to be a few good players that can go on further. 15/14/12/6 and the replacement tightness all looked promising, the England game will decide the title.
Double Grand Slam on route.
@Roy Clarke: they are going for 3 in a row Roy,even better than you thought. Still 2 tough games ahead but they have the bit between their teeth now.
Can’t believe Dan Sheehan might not even be the best hooker in Ireland named Dan Sheehan…
