Ireland pay the penalty for kicking failures

U20 RBS 6 Nations 

Ireland’s unbeaten run in the U20s RBS 6 Nations came to a halt at Donnybrook last night as they were punished for a series of missed opportunities by a ruthless England.

Four missed kicks from fly-half Ross Byrne as well as missed tackles and dropped passes at crucial moments undid an otherwise bright performance from a team which had dispatched France so impressively in Athlone a fortnight ago.
