Ireland 36 Scotland 0 (FT) - England win U20s Six Nations crown despite Irish victory

Right then, after a thrilling, if ultimately disappointing evening for Ireland, we bid you adieu. We leave you with John O’Sullivan’s match report of Ireland’s victory over Scotland.It’s all over. England have won, Ireland are denied a third consecutive title. Agonising for Richie Murphy’s side.Penalty try for England! France pull down a maul and England go into a seven-point lead. Plus, France are down to 14. Not good news for Ireland.

Meanwhile France have scored again in Pau! It’s now 14-5 to the French, a scoreline Ireland will be very happy to see.That’s fantastic from McClean. Looking to field a kick inside his own 22 under pressure, he deftly evades the chase of McLaughlin before launching a booming clearance downfield.The captain dots down. An inside ball to McLaughlin sets it all up. The wing pops up again to take a good pass from de Klerk to break into the 22.

The attack comes to nothing. Ireland are knocked back at the maul and then Boyd gets caught isolated for a holding on call. Douglas again the man to frustrate Ireland, that’s six penalties they’ve given away now as Scotland get the ball off the park for half-time.Half a chance for Ireland as Gavin’s long, wide pass sends McLaughlin away. He tries to kick in behind after drawing up the Scottish backfield but it slices off the outside of his boot and into touch.Wow.

The game has been sold out for a couple of weeks and given what has become a special and cherished atmosphere in Cork, Ireland are expected to deliver a winning display, and will then have to wait to take in what happens in Stade du Hameau in Pau.Some pre-match reading for you. John O’Sullivan is our reporter covering tonight’s clash, and in his preview, he has Ireland as comfortable favourites.
