Ireland seek Rec scalp to keep under-20 Six Nations momentum going

Andy Titterrell's England side have overcome a slow start against Wales and ill-discipline against Scotland to take nine points of a possible 10 so far this campaign.

Andrew Browne's Ireland under-20s travel to Bath's Recreation Ground on Friday night with plans to build on their narrow 30-27 Six Nations victory over Italy. 

Recent meetings of Ireland under-20 duels with England will bring memories of some high-scoring battles; 2022 saw Ireland - on their way to a Grand Slam - overcome their English counterparts 42-27; 2023 - with Ireland en route to back-to-back Grand Slams, the then-coached Richie Murphy young guns won the Cork clash 36-24.
