U20 Six Nations Wrap – Who Did What?

, ,

The 2018 U20 Six Nations was one of mixed success for the Ireland U20 side. The team recorded two wins (Italy and Scotland) and three defeats (France, Wales and England) picking up three try bonus points and one losing bonus point in their third place finish.

Ireland scored, on average, 4.0 tries per game but their problem was in defence where they conceded, on average, 5.2 tries per game. Ireland had a 75% try conversion rate which was generally more successful than their opponents who averaged a 65% conversion rate against them.

There is generally less reliance in the age grade game on penalties but over the series Ireland U20 were successful with an average of 1 penalty per game and conceded on average 1.2 penalties per game.

All this gives the final U20 Six Nations table as shown below:
