It is likely a Championship decider when England take on Ireland this evening in the Under-20 Six Nations. Ireland are back-to-back Grand Slam champions in this tournament but they face their toughest task to date against a brilliant English side. Both sides have won each of their three games to this point but English narrowly sit top of the standings having earned three bonus points and also have a superior score difference. Ireland, to their credit, have impressed as they were forced to dig deep against Italy and France earlier in the tournament. Tonight’s game takes place at the Recreation Ground in Bath with kick-off pencilled in for 7.15 pm. And those looking to watch the game can tune into RTE Two with their coverage beginning at 7 pm and the game is available to stream live on the RTE Player. The Irish Mirror will have live score updates of the game right here throughout the evening as we continue our unrivalled coverage of the 2024 Six Nations.
