Ireland’s under 20s have beaten New Zealand 33-24 this afternoon in Manchester at the World Rugby U20s Championship.
They join the senior women’s team in having the honour of beating the All Blacks at test level.
Laces out Johnny.

Nice work! The future looks bright.
Great so see the 20s do well and that a good group of players are coming through, that is until the IRFU identify a South African/ Kiwi who can’t get a game in his own country, ship him over here and cap him after 3 years. A rule that really needs to be looked at by World Rugby!
Good work lads ;)
Well done and thoroughly deserved.
Unnecessary dig at Sexton there though.
Amazing acheivement and well deserved, they played like men possesed. Tthis team has good things in their future.
Steroids in rugby. It’ll be the new cycling scandal.
Who cares? Let em all at it
Spare
Yep, doing well to keep it under the carpet, but Paul Kimmage will not be silenced.
He’s been silenced a few times now. But he does seem to think he’ll make a few bob “exposing” rugby for it’s steroid abuse.
Awesome display.
Delighted!
One of the great Irish victories.
and Dev MOTM class
Spectacular stuff from our U20’s, and our Seniors. Great, absolutely great.

Didn’t know rugby was actually played internationally. Only about 10 teams I believe. A bit Mickey Mouse really.
What a pathetic and ill informed contribution. Well done you.
Ah Bacchus surprised at you taking the bait on that one!
They’re having a “world” cup again soon so that boring fat old blokes have an excuse to go out and have a rake of pints
Honestly don’t care
Thank you for sharing G-string, but nobody cares that you don’t care.
-You’re probably going to come back with something witty like, ‘I don’t care’
Well d’you know what, I don’t care.
Nice new avatar sǝɯǝɯʇɐpɐq.
-I was wondering…about the different avatars…
Is there any significance or motive, or maybe even a hidden message for the cleverer readers, or some subtle joke that we all won’t ‘get’ until some big ‘reveal’ that you have planned for the future?
No.
Pukeathon
It’s only the under 20’s, it means nothing. Rugby is such a terrible game anyway. Seems to be a lot of West brit readers on broadsheet though.
Nice try “Fred”
Nope, Try again. Pick a subject you know something about this time…. that should narrow it down nicely for you.
Only 4 teams have ever won the WC the largest winning margin in the WC was 146 points or sound only 5 teams have ever played in a rugby WC final
I’m sure someone gives a damn Bacchus about your west Brit steroid ridden garrison game for overfed bullocks
I can’t take you seriously when you’re just spouting absurd cliches. I see you sitting in a Celtic shirt watching the euros drinking the cheapest larger wallowing in track suit BO. This is the best your life will ever be.
Hahaha what’s that about wallowing in cliches? I’d type more back but I’m too busy playing FIFA 2012 on my PlayStation in between planning a riot at the next Bohs Shamrock Rovers game.
Jayziz. Whats with the hating? Sinn fein heads? Relax. It was great stuff todsy. Time on yr hands since water marches finished?
What are you on about? About 5 people play under 20s rugger – no one gives a fupp about it
Typical yuppie West brit comment. If all else fails, mention Sinn Fein. That’ll teach them!
it’s true though isn’t it? You’re not a complicated bunch.
this Bacchus if I may, never wrestle with a pig , you’ll get dirty and the pig likes it.
very true, I was bored.
the U20s showin the seniors how its done. and by that i mean, taking big scalps where it matters, the world cup.
