With the likes of Simon Zebo, Andrew Conway and JJ Hanrahan to compete with, it hasn’t been easy for Stephen Fitzgerald to get a run in a Munster number 15 shirt.

Two tries from Stephen Fitzgerald allowed the Ireland Under-20s to close out their World Rugby U-20 Championship campaign with a satisfying 17-9 win over Scotland and secure seventh place overall.

Had things gone differently, then former Limerick minor hurler Stephen Fitzgerald might be preparing for a big one in the Gaelic Grounds instead of being part of an Irish squad bidding for glory at the World Rugby U20 Championship in Italy.
