England U18’s all out for revenge

ENGLAND will be gunning for revenge against Ireland in tonight’s FIRA-AER U18 European Championship semi-final in Venice (7pm, Irish time).

The Irish enjoyed a 10-7 victory the same stage in last year’s tournament en-route to an agonising penalty shoot out loss to host nation France.

Both teams posted huge scores in their first outings - England defeated Georgia 53-3 while Ireland overcame Russia 53-0.
