Ireland Under-20s boss Andrew Browne believes Munster supporters should be excited to see academy star Tom Wood coming through the ranks, but not before the fly-half plays a full part in the U20 Six Nations campaign, which kicks off against France in Perpignan on Saturday (8pm Irish time).

Wood, 19, is set to start in the green number 10 jersey at Stade Aime Giral a week on from his senior Munster debut off the bench in the URC at Glasgow Warriors, replacing Tony Butler in the 47th minute of the 31-22 defeat.
