Win puts U19s in good position

Despite a late come-back from Scotland, the Ireland Under 19s kept their composure to hold on for a 28-22 victory at the IRB/FIRA World Championships at Creteil, Paris, yesterday.

First half-tries from Brett McNamee and Ross McCarron, and a conversion and two penalties from out-half Barry Keeshan had Ireland 18-10 in front at the interval.
