Ireland spring huge upset as Baby Boks outfoxed
A try in each half, from back-rower Jordan Coghlan and then lock Iain Henderson, was reward for a mighty forward display while fly-half JJ Hanrahan orchestrated a superb team effort against the heavily favoured Baby Boks.
Coach Mike Ruddock had been denied the services of team captain Paddy Jackson when the Ulster fly-half was kept at home under orders from the IRFU. But Munster’s Hanrahan made light of the loss with a perfect kicking return of two penalties, two conversions and a drop goal.
