Ireland’s future looks bright with the future stars of the Ireland team performing brilliantly in Scotland at the Under 21 World Cup. Following on from their impressive performance in the Group stages, Ireland yesterday beat the highly fancied Australian side to book their place in the final with defending champions New Zealand.

Ireland beat Australia 26-13 having outscored the Wallabies 3 tries to 1. Not alone is it Ireland’s first trip to the final, but it’s also the first time a Northern Hemisphere side has made it to the final.
