There’s a huge game between Ireland and England on Sunday, and this game last night at Dubarry Park would have whet the appetite for the senior game later this weekend.

However, this horrible moment from Ross Moriarty saw him rightfully sent off after just 23 minutes as he folded up Luke McGrath and dropped him dangerously on his head.

Despite the sending off, the game itself was still a tense affair, and the man who grabbed the headlines was Tom Daly, who was able to slot over a conversion in the closing minutes to give Ireland a 16-15 win over the reigning U20s Six Nations champions. Hopefully that’s a great omen for tomorrow’s game.
