Bill Johnston happy to be back playing

Munster supporters who were enthused by the displays of out-half Johnny Holland in the latter stages of the season will also have been impressed by the performance of Bill Johnston on his debut for the Irish U20s on Tuesday night.

The Clonmel native made his U20 debut after recovering from a shoulder injury which sidelined him for a big chunk of the season. He impressed as Ireland came from behind to beat Six Nations champions Wales 26-25.

Johnston, whose older brother David had broken through to the Munster senior side, only turned 19 in February and will be eligible for the World Rugby U20 Championship in Georgia next summer.
