The Ireland Under-20s’ hopes of back-to-back Grand Slams are alive and well.
They ran in five tries in a 44-points to 27 win away to their Italian counterparts in Treviso.
Erris native Fiachna Barrett put in a solid display when introduced on 70 minutes and fellow Ballina Rugby Club man Harry West came on for the final five minutes.
But England remain a point clear at the top of the table following a bonus point 37-points to 21 win over Wales in Colwyn Bay.
