Unusual that the IRFU haven't posted the team up yet.
Surprised that Ronan Kelleher isn't starting. Diarmuid Barron played in the Ireland under 19 games recently I think. He was added when McElroy dropped out. Big step up for him.
Even without Larmour, O'Brien etc, that backline could do damage.

Re: Ireland Under 20 2017
I have vague recollections of underage teams and squads going up on the world rugby site early and then being different when we announce them ourselves. Not sure why that would be but it's certainly happened in the past.

I hope they're planning on rotating a bit. The Scotland match might be the only chance.
We might have a weakened squad but there's still a real possibility of qualifying as best runners up if they lose to NZ.
The other groups look more competitive.
England, Australia, Wales, Samoa
Argentina, France, South Africans and Georgia.
The weather will likely be hot and the ground hard so we should see high scoring matches.
Re: Ireland Under 20 2017
Scotland currently giving it a bit of a rattle against New Zealand in our group.
22-13 to New Zealand early in the second half (3 tries vs 2 tries)
22-13 to New Zealand early in the second half (3 tries vs 2 tries)
Look out Itchy, he's Irish
Re: Ireland Under 20 2017

Re: Ireland Under 20 2017
First 10 mins, Ireland dominant but made at least 3 handling errors in opposition territory and missed one penalty. Still 0-0.
Jack Kelly playing very well.

Nearly sucker punched just there, Italy pen on 5m, Ire lucky to not to get yellow for pulling player back
Dont Panic!
Re: Ireland Under 20 2017
Italy try. Disappointing to have all the ball and then sloppiness leads to conceding a score.
Dont Panic!
