Clarke names unchanged team as U-20s close in on Slam

JUST like their senior counterparts, ‘Grand Slam’ is not a term being used loosely around Allen Clarke’s Ireland U-20 camp.

Three wins from three — a feat matched by the senior side — have raised hopes that this year’s crop can follow the 2007 vintage, who achieved the elusive Grand Slam under Eric Elwood’s tutelage.

Clarke has named an unchanged team for the first time this season for the clash with Scotland at McDiarmuid Park in Perth tonight (7.30pm).
