The Ireland Under 20 will play in their first World Rugby U20 Championship Final this Saturday when they take on hosts England in Manchester.

High‑scoring wins over Argentina and South Africa respectively set up an all‑Northern Hemisphere final, with England looking to win their third title in four years.

Meanwhile the Fifth‑Place Final will see New Zealand take on Australia, while Georgia and France are through to the Ninth‑Place Final.

Italy and Japan will meet in the crucial 11th‑Place play‑off to avoid relegation from the tournament.
