The Irish Under-20 team, sponsored by PwC, to face tournament hosts France in Tuesday's 5th-8th place play-off at the IRB Junior World Championship has been named.
Fergus McFadden's desire to play international rugby on a regular basis was encapsulated by his last-minute try against Canada.

Ireland bid farewell to the 2013 international season with a runaway victory over Canada, with a new captain and interim head coach presiding over a successful summer tour which saw six players make the step up to Test rugby.
