Ireland will not veer from what has worked for them so far at the World Rugby U20 Championships when they meet hosts South Africa in Sunday’s semi-final at the Athlone Stadium just north of the city centre.

After a week of tragedy off the field and two weeks of tribulations on the field with three red cards and suspensions to key players, coach Richie Murphy wants the team to be true to itself.
