Ulster Academy duo Jonny Scott and Henry Walker scored two tries each as the Ireland Under-20 Men’s team (sponsored by PwC) got the better of Spain by the minimum margin in Calvisano.
On the final day of the 2025 World Rugby U-20 Championship, Neil Doak’s charges showed their battling qualities to drive Walker over in the 79th minute and rescue a 38-37 victory from the jaws of defeat.
Spain, who had claimed the scalp of Fiji in this equivalent match last summer, threatened to upset the odds with an impressive five-try performance. However, Ireland produced a strong start and finish to narrowly win the 11th place play-off.
