Four uncapped players included in the squad for tournament that gets underway on June 24th
Ireland under-20 head coach Richie Murphy has retained 26 players who were involved in the Six Nations Grand Slam success in a 30-man squad for the World Rugby Under-20 World Championship in Cape Town. The tournament takes place from June 24th to July 14th during which Ireland will play three pool games and two crossover matches to determine their final finishing position.
The four uncapped players are Garryowen hooker Max Klein, Old Belvedere tighthead prop Ronan Foxe, Dublin University’s Dan Barron and Garryowen scrumhalf Jack Oliver. Murphy will be supported in his coaching team once again by Mark Sexton and forwards coach Aaron Dundon while Andrew Browne joins as defence and lineout coach as Willie Faloon is unable to travel for personal reasons.
Ireland play England, the team that they beat to clinch the Grand Slam in Musgrave Park, in the opening match of the tournament on Saturday, June 24th in Paarl before taking on an Australian squad that shared a recent series with New Zealand 1-1 and then Fiji in the final pool encounter. Depending on results, Ireland will then play two crossover games with the ambition of trying to win a first ever World Championship, having twice been runners-up when losing to England, and when it was an under-21 tournament against New Zealand in Glasgow.
