Ireland U20 scored an overtime-converted try to secure a 32 – 32 draw with England U20 at the Rec in Bath.
Trading the lead from the off, the top two sides in this year’s Championship could not be separated.
With two minutes to play, England appeared to score the decisive try, and with three minutes to play, winger Ben Waghorn scored in the left-hand corner.
Landing the conversion from the touchline player of the match, Sean Kerr could be seen telling his teammates to remain calm as he ran back to receive the Irish kick-off.
Unfortunately for Kerr and his teammates, Ireland would immediately claim the ball back with just over ninety seconds to play.
Richie Murphy’s side would not relinquish the ball as they went through several phases and were rewarded with several advantages as they went to the corner.
From here, the ball would work in field and after phases of sustained pressure, backrow Luke Muprhy would barge his way over before replacement flyhalf Sean Naughton slotted the conversion to secure the draw.
Exceptional fight from the U20s to snatch a draw with 90 second left on the clock.
