The Ireland Under-20s (sponsored by PwC) will this evening bid to make history in South Africa as they take on France in the World Rugby U-20 Championship final (kick-off 6pm Irish time).
It is only the second time an Ireland team have reach a global final at this age grade. Richie Murphy’s side are bidding to become just the third team behind England (2013) and France (2018) to claim the U-20 Six Nations and World Rugby U-20 Championship titles in the same year.
Head coach Murphy has made just one change to his starting XV for Friday night’s showdown at the Athlone Sports Stadium.
You can watch the match live in the Republic of Ireland on Virgin Media Two, with coverage getting underway at 5.30pm. For viewers in Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom, there will be live coverage on World Rugby’s platforms here.
