'Our guys have a great opportunity to get out there on the world stage and try put their best foot forward.'
IRELAND U20s HEAD coach Richie Murphy believes his team can build on their Grand Slam success at the U20 World Championships, but admits the squad’s lack of match sharpness is a concern as the group prepare to fly out to South Africa.
It’s one of the only concerns on Murphy’s mind as his exciting group of players prepare for pool games against England, Australia and Fiji. But at this stage, most of these guys, one of the issues that we might have is that we haven’t played a huge amount of rugby over the last number of weeks.” Ireland open their campaign against England on 24 June, as the U20 World Championships return for the first time since 2019.
“Max Cline missed out on Six Nations due to injury. Initially he hadn’t been in the squad but through some good performances in the AIL, he fought his way in there.
