Ireland u20 2016 6Nations/Junior World Cup

croket

Georgia scored 3 tries and win 18-17.
They missed 12 kickable points, and un unallowed try.
Italy scored a converted try at the last second, but the win was already secured for the georgians.

They lost by 1 point against Wales, and won against Italy so I also think they deserves a sport in U20 6 Nations.

Hopefully not cursing him but McPhillips has settled in well. It's important he does. I think there is a gap between Johnston and McPhillips so hopefully he does well.

Let off for us as they miss the penalty.

Moflojo

Argentina miss a penalty kick at goal.

13 mins gone.

Ire 7-0 Arg

vienne86

Nice grubber kick into touch in the 22 by McPhillips pins them back again.

vienne86

Pumas had us under pressure there, but good defence go gain a penalty.

Moflojo

Ireland look very assured in possession.

Argentina showed more energy and passion during their anthem than they have in the first twenty minutes of the match.

Greg Jones is playing really well. Conor O'Brien looks good at 12 as well.

What a game of rugby this is : Carries, passes, footsteps, very few handling errors

Wow, what a run

bilston

Great pace by Deegan

Moflojo

Max Deegan intercepts on his own 22m line and runs the length of the field for a try in the corner.

A-Train

What a try, great legs to finish!

vienne86

Fabulous run the length of the pitch by Deegan - great interecept. Great try and conversion.

bilston

Great conversion to boot

Moflojo

Touchline conversion from the left by McPhillips is good.

Kerins is getting the ball out very quickly. McPhillips kicking well.

They were involved in the u18s Elite Championship's, consistently bet Italians and evening knocking ireland out in 2015's comp where they reached the final..
There doesn't seem to be an elite comp this year only a U18 European Championship and France are the only 6Nations teams to appear to be in it
I'm sure there is some reason but it looks like sour grapes from the traditional nations

Kiwi_knock

Great defence

vienne86

Very solid defence. Forwards are immense. And half back partnership is very impressive.

irishbucsfan

Jacob Stockdale again. Lovely lovely try.

Neil3030

This McPhillips lad has a god-like boot.

yeeeeeeeeesssssssss

Stockdale's wheels! Some strength too. Try number 3!

bilston

Brillant try

LuckyGent88

Beauty of a try

Kiwi_knock

Lovely try, running away with this game

Dream first 30 mins

Moflojo

Stockdale again. Great offload from left winger to Stockdale, he broke a tackle and stepped inside the last defender to score under the posts.

Conversion good.

Moflojo

Anyone know what altitude Manchester is at???

Clegg

Ireland's work off restarts s a bit sloppy.

McPhillips looks like a really talented rugby player. I'm just not convinced he is a 10 with the control of someone like Johnston.

Billysays no

mcbernie has been great in all his games

Kalyke

Their scrum half is a whingy git....

And offload on the last try!!!

vienne86

Ireland not letting Pumas get going at all. Really up for this. Full of energy and intent. Great to watch.

wp_rathead

eek, bad time to concede...

A-Train

Argies try 38 mins, 21 - 7, 39 mins

Moflojo

Pressure from Argentina for the last few minutes. Grubber kick through the defence touched down by Argentina No. 13.

Conversion is good.

Moflojo

vienne86

Pity to let the get that try just before half time. No need to take risks like that. Excellent half though.

RedemptionZ

Game management needed now. Argies will implode and start throwing stupid passes if our defence stays strong. Game is ours unless we throw this away.

ClanofLams

I thought the pen in lead up to Arg try was very harsh. Looked like their flanker just dived off feet and laid on the ball

What position do you see him ending up?

Well this generation will be 26-27 y-o in 2023. Add some older "emerging" like Byrne, Daly, Tracy, Robb, SOB 2.0, Masterson, Holland..... And we're ready to win our home RWC!!!!!!
