Thanks Dave, couldn't find it on Iplayer for whatever reason. Ireland up already!

It's on YouTube if not broadcast on a channel.

Humphreys ran over by Scottish No.8 after 27 minutes.

Oh the nostalgia. Brought a tear to my eye.

Apart from that hes had a good half and to be fair to him Scotland had the wheel on the scrum allowing their No.8 to roll of it with a run up into him without an Ireland backrow tackle. He didn't shirk the tackle and put his body on the line.

[Lurgan Lad]

Haven't seen a lot on the Irish side to be impressed with. Full back and left wing have been good, number 8 has tackled well, 7 has been decent and that's been about it.

Red card for Scotland, Ireland should walk this now.

Fairly spot on assessment.

McKee best of Ulster lads

[UlsterNo9]

Crothers on. Very exciting prospect.

[Dave]

I've been impressed with both props. Big units carrying well and the scrum is very dominant. Kellenden at no 8 also very good.

Agree Dave, raw power and athleticism there to be seen with the two starting props, scrum technique lacking, case in point Scotland manipulating the scrum angle for their 8 to have a free run at Humphreys.

Good try by Ireland

They have the power when they get it right.

Jennings also impressing. The big tests are always england and france as the physicality goes to a much higher level.

[Dave]

Impressed with Sheridan's workrate. He did the ugly stuff. A few good carries. Could easily play at 6 too.

[solidarity]

Good straightforward win. Some nice movement in the backs in the later part of the second half.

Yeah he's not flashy but he seems to be very tough and likes to get stuck in, think he could do well at 6. Hadn't really appreciated how big Moxham is, the age didn't go his way but he looks like a unit.
Wee Humph I didn't see enough of- missed the first half and just watched a few highlights, bar one miss kick he seems to be at the very lest decent with a good kicking game, hopefully he'll get more gametime to show what he's about.

Good win fo the U20s over all, some really nice play by the backs- the centres and fullback were great and the pack showed up well.
