Ireland’s Under-20s will prepare for this summer’s new-look men’s World Rugby Junior World Championship in Georgia with confidence on a high following their Six Nations Triple Crown success but with Andrew Browne hoping his players will get greater exposure with their provinces in the closing weeks of the URC campaign. “But you'd like to think, with what we've shown in the Six Nations, that you'd be encouraged going there. But from what I've seen in this, I'm really encouraged and looking forward to getting into Junior World Cup prep.”Browne explained his plans for this week’s camp. Just go over the Six Nations as a whole, see where we lie with bodies coming back, injury status. These lads have to go back, a lot of them will play some AIL rugby, especially those that are in play-offs.
