Midlands Quartet Involved As Ireland Round Off U20 Six Nations

Tuesday, 13 July 2021 at 08:51

They play France this afternoon in Cardiff.

Birr's Ronan Loughnane returns to the starting line up for Ireland's U20s tonight. 

They play France in their final Six Nations contest at 4:45 in Cardiff. 

Buccaneers duo Oisin McCormack and Shane Jennings also return. 

Portlaoise Rugby Club's Will Reilly is named among the replacements.

Richie Murphy's side's chances of retaining their title are slim.

Ireland need England to lose to Italy without a bonus point and also record a bonus-point victory by more than 30 points against France.
