Ireland looking for second win in U20 Six Nations campaign against Italy

Italy have also won just once this season and come into this tie on the back of a heavy defeat away to France and a 33-24 defeat in England last weekend.

Ireland will attempt to avoid their worst ever U20 Six Nations campaign when they take on Italy in their final game of this season’s competition in Treviso this Friday evening (7.45pm Irish time).

Ireland have never lost four games in the competition since it changed from U21 to U20 in 2008 but after twice winning Grand Slams in the past three years, they face an inglorious finish to the first campaign with Neil Doak in charge if they fail to oust the Italians.
