Tullow man Charlie Ward was a last minute substitution and in doing so made his debut for the Irish U20’s last night.
They beat England 42 – 26 in the World Under 20 Championships in Argentina.
Charlie came on for Tom Clarkson in the 79th minute.
The Grand Slam champions capitalised on England’s indiscipline – Aaron Hinkley and Manu Vunipola were sin-binned in both halves and replacement hooker Alfie Barbeary saw red with a reckless 66th-minute challenge on John Hodnett – as they closed out an impressive performance with clinching tries from Ben Healy, who starred off the bench, and Hodnett.
Noel McNamara’s side scored six tries.
