Ruddock demanding improvement

Ireland U20 coach Mike Ruddock believes an improvement to the set-piece will be the key to defeating France in Grenoble tomorrow.

Ruddock’s charges got their Six Nations campaign off to a winning start when late drop goals from skipper Paddy Jackson and replacement scrum-half Luke McGrath secured an 11-6 win over Wales in Athlone last weekend.

“We know we have to keep working on our set-piece,” said Ruddock.
