Scotland battle but well beaten by Ireland in Under-20s Six Nations
Scotland fell to a second successive defeat in the Under-20s Six Nations as Ireland proved too strong in visitors raced into a commanding early lead, with winger Charlie Molony scoring a hat-trick and Billy Corrigan crossing to secure a bonus point inside 21 hit back through a Fergus Watson try before half-time, and narrowed the gap further after the break when Joe Roberts scored off the back of a lineout Minogue scored Ireland's fifth try to quell hopes of a Scotland comeback, before Hector Patterson forced his way to the line for Scotland's third try. It wasn't enough though, and Ireland ran out 33-15 were beaten by England in Cork last week, while Scotland began their tournament with a loss against Italy.
