Ireland went into the concluding game of the three-round tournament unbeaten but were soundly beaten by England, who ran in nine tries in a 56-14 victory. Centre Moynihan, 17, says there was little his side could do in the face of an England side who delivered a near-perfect performance at Energia Park. Moynihan hopes he and his Under-18s colleagues can stay together and achieve great things for Ireland, having formed such a close bond during the tournament in Dublin. “It’s a massive honour to captain the team as they are a brilliant group of boys,” he added. “We have a really strong core group of leaders who have been really well brought up and come from great schools.
