Early blitz sets Irish up for tilt at U20 crown

Ireland U-20 24 Wales U-20 17

The Welsh challenge was quenched with an awesome first-half display which saw Ireland ahead at the break 17-0.

The big lead was needed as Wales, the only team to defeat Ireland in Dubarry Park since the U20 games moved there a few years ago, stepped up several gears after the restart in a high tempo game.
