Ireland U-20 Men To Face South Africa In Cork In November

The Ireland Under-20 Men (sponsored by PwC) will step up their preparations for the 2026 U-20 Men’s Six Nations when they welcome the South Africa U-20s to Cork for a challenge match on Friday, November 14 (kick-off 7.30pm).

Head coach Andrew Browne assembled an extended squad at the IRFU High Performance Centre last week, and the Ireland U-20s will come together again for a six-day camp in November, before going head-to-head with their South African counterparts at Virgin Media Park.

The hit-out will be a valuable opportunity for Browne and his coaching team to expose their extended squad to match minutes in green, while building consistency and continuity in performance leading into the 2026 Championship, which begins with an away trip to France on Saturday, February 7.
