one of England's second rows plays for Racing 92, so we don't apply the same selections rules at u20 level then?

England's forwards with a bad case of white line fever butchering a chance for England's 4th and now the winger has dropped the ball when going in for a 4th after a cross field kick, England keeping the ball due to foul play though, 21-7 with 71:33 on the clock

4th Try finally, the replacement 9 wasn't great in directing the forwards and never looked like getting it to the backs, luckily the replacement front row found the grunt to score.

Co-Commentator just given player of the match to Henry Pollock, who has been really good

28-7 full time

Carnduff was solid but unspectacular, lead the side well though. Welsh 7, who is a Tigers player had a tough night giving away a few penalties but the Welsh pack were just overpowered.

Ireland squeezed past Italy in Musgrave Park, Cork, by 23 points to 22 points. Hard not to think that the better team lost. Ireland’s defensive tackling was atrocious - 35 tackles missed. The Italy scrum had Ireland’s scum on toast the whole game. The Italian 14, Scalabrin looks like a very, very good player in the making. Had Italy won he would have been MoM.

Will be interesting to see how they get on without Sodeke and Kpoku in the engine room.

Just watched the highlights on YouTube - looks like it was a great game, does anyone know if the full match will appear anywhere?
