It is not just the Ireland senior men’s team with bigger fish to fry following their Grand Slam success at the weekend, Richie Murphy’s Under-20s are already eyeing up a run at this summer’s World Championships in South Africa according to back-row star Brian Gleeson.

Gleeson, who only turned 19 on February 5 and has another year of eligibility at Under-20 level, was Ireland’s man of the match for the second time in five matches after his two tries contributed to a 36-24 victory over England at Musgrave Park on Sunday night that secured back-to-back Six Nations Grand Slams for the underage side.
