If the U20s grade is rugby’s sweet spot between youthful enthusiasm and senior realpolitik then the recent rivalry between Ireland and England has showcased the game at this level like none other in the recent past.

The last three Six Nations meetings between these two has produced a grand total of 193 points and no less than 25 tries. There have been thrills and spills galore with the Irish winning two and drawing the other.
