Kearney, Sherlock, Furlong & O’Shea set to represent Irish U/20’s against Scotland
Mick Kearney returns to the Irish U/20 starting line-up for their clash against their Scottish counterparts in Inverness this coming Friday and will line up alongside fellow Tarf younster Michael Sherlock who lines out at fullback. Sherlock impressed against a tough French side in the team’s last outing while Kearney missed the French reversal after sustaining a nasty head injury against Italy in the opening fixture of the U/20 6 Nations Championship. Tarf’s Tadhg Furlong and Collie O’Shea come onto the bench in what would be their first appearance in the U/20 Championship.
