Scotland claim 32-28 win over Ireland in eight-try contest

The Ireland Under-20s succumbed to their second defeat at the World Rugby U-20 Championship in Georgia, going down 32-28 to Scotland in a hugely entertaining eight-try contest, writes Dave Mervyn.

Scotland's ambition with ball in hand and infectious attacking style was rewarded with five tries in sun-kissed Kutaisi. Having erased a 10-point deficit, tries from Ross McCann and Fraser Renwick had the Scots 12-10 ahead at half-time and further touchdowns from influential backs Darcy Graham, Connor Eastgate and Robbie Nairn guided them to a well-earned bonus point.
