Stunning win over Welsh sets up dramatic title shot

IRELAND produced a stunning performance to overwhelm Wales in the Amateur Home International series at Royal St Georges, Sandwich yesterday and give themselves a chance of capturing the title.

They powered their way to a 9-6 success and will today meet Scotland knowing that victory would almost certainly mean that the title is decided on a countback of individual points secured.

Scotland achieved one of the major upsets of recent years by thrashing England, the defending champions and reigning European title-holders 11.5-3.5 which means there is a fascinating final day in prospect today with all to play for - each country has one win to their credit.
