Collins calls the tune as Irish Schools master U19’s

The Irish Schools went in front after five minutes. After stealing possession in the lineout in the U19’s 22, they set up a ruck from which Cian Healy scored in the left corner.

Outhalf Brian Collins, who gave an accomplished display, added the conversion and then landed a long-range drop goal.

And as the Irish Schools continued to apply the pressure, Collins added a penalty on 20 minutes before suffering a rare lapse in front of the posts with a missed attempt shortly afterwards.

Just short of the half hour, the Irish Schools went over for their second try. The move was started in midfield before scrum-half Adam Bartholomew launched a diagonal ball into the corner. The bounce deceived the U19’s cover and there to pounce for an opportunist try was wing Vasya Atremiev.

Five minutes into the second-half wing Max Rantz McDonald forced a five metre scrum and although the U19’s were twice stopped short of the line, they finally went over through front row David Ryan.
