How to watch Ireland U20s vs Italy in World Championships
After a pulsating 35-28 win over Georgia, Irelands U20s get a chance to continue their winning ways in the World U20s Championships, as they face hosts Italy.
The win over Georgia saw Ireland run in 5 tries, in what was a positive performance, and put on a much better attacking display than they did during the U20 Six Nations.
They'll be out for revenge too as Italy inflicted Neil Doak's side a gutting 15-12 defeat during the final round of this year's U20 Six Nations. Charlie Molony of Ireland on his way to scoring a try during World Rugby U20 Championship 2025 Pic: Roberto Bregani/Sportsfile

There are only two changes to the starting lineup for Ireland as loosehead Alex Usanov comes into the starting team in place of Billy Bohan and Will Wooton starts at scrum-half instead of Clark Logan. Usanov recently signed a pro contract with Leinster despite not making his debut for the province yet, such is the high regard he is held in.
The side are captained again by Corkonian and Connacht academy player Eanna McCarthy at openside flanker meanwhile Tom Wood gets the nod at 10 yet again.
Here's the Ireland Men's U20 side for the second game of the @WorldRugby U20 World Championship.
