Under-20 Six Nations: Ireland 47-14 Scotland<\/p>\n
The Irish U-20 side followed in the footsteps of the senior squad and captured the Triple Crown when they put Scotland to the sword in Cork with seven players scoring tries.<\/p>\n
Similar to Andy Farrell’s side, silverware seemed unlikely when they too returned from France on the opening weekend nursing a big loss.<\/p>\n
But Andrew Browne\u2019s men turned their campaign round and finished it in style with a fourth win in succession with Ireland having finished bottom of the table a year ago.<\/p>\n
Ireland had the bonus point in the bag by the break when they went in leading 28-0 after making the most of everything they created. The four converted tries came from six visits to the 22 \u2014 Scotland made a similar amount of forays into the Ireland 22 and came away with nothing, with excellent defending preventing the ball being grounded after an early tapped penalty and then again just before the break.<\/p>\n
