rumoured that Anagu is out for Ireland u20, team in IT today:
IRELAND: H McErlean (Terenure/Leinster); H Gavin (Galwegians/Connacht), H Cooney (Clontarf/Leinster), J Devine (Corinthians/Connacht), J Nicholson (UCD/Leinster); S Prendergast (Lansdowne/Leinster), F Gunne (Terenure/Leinster); G Hadden (Clontarf/Leinster), G McCarthy (UCD/Leinster, capt), P McCarthy (DUFC/Leinster); C O’Tighearnaigh (UCD/Leinster), D Mangan (UCD/Leinster); J McNabney (Ballymena/Ulster), R Quinn (Old Crescent/Munster), B Gleeson (Garryowen/Munster).
Replacements: D Sheahan (UCC/Munster), G Morris (Lansdowne/Leinster), F Barrett (Corinthians/Connacht), E O’Connell (UL Bohemians/Munster), J Sheahan (UCC/Munster), O Cawley (Naas/Leinster), H West (Buccaneers/Connacht), R Telfer (QUB/Ulster).
Needed to stay within a score at HT, job done. Hopefully won't make the same number of errors in the 2nd half and get the defense sorted.
If so they should be ok.
Wales centres in particular are carving it up. Feels a bit weird to see an Irish team clearly dominant physically, especially in the forwards, but losing out overall to a more skillful, clinical team.

More skillful and clinical... so far.
Ireland haven't had much ball and are 1 point behind, should be an interesting 2nd half.
Edit: actually Ireland have probably been more clinical, given the possession stats and number of visits to the 22
