Next up for Ireland U20s is Fiji on Tuesday

Suncroft's Sam Prendergast proved crucial in securing a win for Ireland, he kicked two penalties and a conversion.

Ireland's under 20 players have got the win they needed against Australia in the World Championship in South Africa.

Naas RFC's Andrew Osborne was also in action this morning.

Richie Murphy's team prevailed in difficult conditions by 30 points to 10 and importantly, they earned a bonus point.

James Nicholson's try helped Ireland come from 10-3 down to lead 11-10 at the break.

And the Irish added further tries in the second half from Brian Gleeson, Gus McCarthy and Diarmuid Mangan - the fourth try coming in the last play.

Jack Oliver also adding a conversion.

So that's a win and a draw for Ireland.

Next up for Ireland is Fiji on Tuesday - the Fijians play England later.
