RBS Under 20 6N: Ireland stumble against England.

, , ,

Ireland U20’s Six Nations campaign hit the buffers against England on Friday night at Donnybrook with a 14 – 19 defeat.

Unfortunately I haven’t managed to catch any of the games yet but I have been following their, up to now, serene progress as they recorded a 47 – 15 win against Italy away and an impressive 37 – 20 win against France at Dubarry Park last time out.

I did however catch most of the Irish players in the Interpro series way back in September and given Ulster’s fine performances then, when they completed the series with three from three, I did expect to see a few more Ulster boys in the squad. I can only assume that Jacob Stockdale, Sean O’Hagan, Conor Young and Conor McKee are carrying injuries. Hopefully they will be available come the 2015 JWC in July.

Having said that, there were still seven Ulster youngsters in the squad; Jack Owens, Sam Arnold, Zac McCall, Alex Thompson
