Ireland’s winning run came to an end, losing 20 – 9 at Adams Park on Friday night against England.

The match was more one-sided than the score suggests as Ireland’s youngsters found it difficult to cope with the power and pace of their English counterparts, with the visitors losing the initiative, and effectively the game, in the opening minutes.
