Hard to get hyped for thus from an Irish perspective. This is far from the best Ireland u20 team even before you take into account that our 2 best 6N players are injured. Caelan Doris has a massive future and Tommy O'Brien is good but other than that I don't see an awful lot of these players making it. Ronan Kelleher and Jack O'Sullivan would have made a big difference but as it is a realistic expectation would be not to **** up against Georgia but we don't have much of a chance against the others unless Doris goes on the rampage and really tears it up.

Interesting how Kpoku is in the squad after that game v SA performance I have no idea, unless he has learnt how to use his size in that time.

Poor kicking option after a great start from England.
