Ireland U20s 35 - 27 England U20sCormac Foley's 77th-minute try made it an opening night to remember for the Ireland Under-20s at Musgrave Park as they came from 11 points down to defeat a highly-regarded England outfit 35-27. However, Tierney-Martin and the tireless Penny touched down either side of a Josh Hodge solo effort to cut the gap to 21-20. A late Marcus Smith penalty had the visitors four points up heading into the closing 40 minutes, but England could only muster one more penalty from Tom Hardwick despite Ireland losing prop Michael Milne to the sin-bin. Adding to Tierney-Martin's second score, Byrne kicked his third penalty of the night and converted Foley's decisive try from a five-metre scrum. Smith converted from straight in front, only for Ireland to hit back with a Byrne penalty and a smashing 37th-minute try.
