This was an incredible weekend for Irish rugby.
IRELAND U20S HEAD coach Richie Murphy says his side drew inspiration from the senior team’s Grand Slam success on Saturday before going on to achieve the same feat.
Ireland ran in six tries including a brace apiece for Hugh Gavin and Brian Gleeson while George Hadden and Fintan Gunne also chipped in to maintain their supremacy. Murphy was elated as he praised his charges for a job well done, but he tempered his words by mentioning the U20 World Cup, which is coming up later this year.
“They were very calm all week. Very controlled. We watched the senior game together yesterday which was really a unique experience. Lads were singing in the team room. Then afterwards, we sat down and started analysing what can we learn from that game and they were starting to pick out things that they wanted to do today. We didn’t get it all right, but we got enough right to get over the line.”
