Drama at the death in Bath as Richie Murphy’s side salvage a result from the jaws of defeat.
England 32 Ireland 32 IRELAND SALVAGED A draw from the jaws of defeat in a pulsating U20 Six Nations showdown against England at the Rec.
Ireland’s Sean Naughton celebrates kicking a conversion with the last kick of the game to force a draw. James Crombie / INPHO James Crombie / INPHO / INPHO They had been in a winning position for a lot of it after tries from Finn Treacy, Ben O’Connor, Hugo McLaughlin and Henry Walker — with Jack Murphy pulling the strings throughout — but England’s bench power nudged them in front down the home straight.
— RTÉ Sport March 8, 2024 Treacy was the scorer, Murphy the creator-in-chief as the duo combined for a try made in Presentation College Bray. Murphy found Treacy on the right with a pin-point cross-field kick, the winger turned on the gas and finished brilliantly under the posts. The out-half did the rest from the tee, levelling matters at 10-10.
England had a try crossed off shortly after the restart, while Ireland butchered a big chance of their own — but they made amends when McLaughlin dotted down in the corner for his first U20 international try after another impressive, patient move. In the 69th minute, England levelled matters. They piled on the pressure, and eventually, after being called back for a tap-and-go penalty and a TMO check, Kane James crashed over and ultimately, set-up a grandstand final 10 minutes.
