worth bearing in mind for anyone downplaying the result, that England team is littered with guys with significant amounts of AP rugby under their belts - far more than the Irish squad, the only guy with meaningful first team experience is Kernohan

Incredible result,they have done it twice against a quality English side.

Can someone tell me what Kernohan is good at? I’m really struggling to see what he brings.

I struggle as well, was it him though on the outside of Healy who had the boot on the line?

The Healy try was fine it was not his foot on line, the first grounding was dubious though.

The English lad got a 5 week ban for his red card. Misses rest of tournament and 1st game in 2019/20 season.

HIGH RISK CONTACT TECHNIQUE WARNINGS
The following players received High Risk Contact Technique Warnings arising from match-day one under the trial in operation at the World Rugby U20 Championship 2019 with respect to upright tackles which result in contact with an opponent’s head:

Santiago Chocobares (Argentina No.12)
Lachlan Lonergan (Australia No.2)
Julien Delbois (France No.12)
Jonathan Wren (Ireland No.11)
Ronan Watters (Ireland No.20)
James Mollentze (South Africa No.10)

Coaches now have the opportunity to conduct a coaching session with the players to address their tackling technique to the satisfaction of the Citing Commissioner in order to have the first warning removed from the players’ records. Two Technique Warnings in the tournament will result in a one-match suspension.

Totally deserved, but I actually feel a bit sorry for the lad - he is after all just a kid, did something monumentally dumb, but of course the modern day being what it is I think he's been hounded on social media by the usual armchair warriors.

I think the coaching sessions are a great idea

IRELAND UNDER-20 Team & Replacements (v Australia Under-20s, 2019 World Rugby U-20 Championship – Pool B, Club de Rugby Atheneo Immaculada, Santa Fe, Argentina, Saturday, June 8, kick-off 10.30 local time/2.30pm Irish time):

TV - Eir Sport 2 in ROI, Highlights on ITV 4 at 11pm. In UK, live stream on World Rugby Website/YouTube Channel etc

15. Rob Russell (Dublin University/Leinster) 14. Angus Kernohan (Queen’s University/Ulster) 13. Liam Turner (Dublin University/Leinster) 12. Stewart Moore (Malone/Ulster) 11. Jonathan Wren (Cork Constitution/Munster) 10. Jake Flannery (Shannon/Munster) 9. Craig Casey (Shannon/Munster); 1. Josh Wycherley (Young Munster/Munster) 2. Dylan Tierney-Martin (Corinthians/Connacht) 3. Thomas Clarkson (Dublin University/Leinster) 4. Charlie Ryan (UCD/Leinster) (capt) 5. Ryan Baird (Dublin University/Leinster) 6. David McCann (Banbridge/Ulster) 7. Ronan Watters (St. Mary’s College/Leinster) 8. John Hodnett (UCC/Munster)

16. John McKee (Old Belvedere/Leinster) 17. Michael Milne (UCD/Leinster) 18. Charlie Ward (Clontarf/Leinster) 19. Declan Adamson (Clontarf/Leinster) 20. Niall Murray (Buccaneers/Connacht) 22.

There are two enforced changes from the squad that beat England in the opening game. Sean French, who came on in the second half, sustained a facial injury that rules him out of the rest of the tournament. Abbey Insurance Ulster Academy fullback Iwan Hughes, who was making his tournament debut, picked up a finger injury and he too is ruled out of the tournament. Rob Russell comes into the starting XV in place of Hughes at fullback with Angus Kernohan and Jonathan Wren again named on the wings. The rest of the back line is unchanged with Craig Casey and Jake Flannery named in the halfbacks and Stewart Moore and Liam Turner in the centre. The front five remains the same with Josh Wycherley, Dylan Tierney-Martin and Thomas Clarkson in the front row while captain Charlie Ryan and Ryan Baird pack down in the second row. Josh Hodnett moves from 7 to 8 in place of Azur Allison who is going through the return to play protocols. Ronan Watters comes in at open-side while David McCann starts at 6. Aaron O’Sullivan and Max O’Reilly have been called up to the squad in place of French and Hughes but will not be in the side this weekend.
