Tries from rising Tipperary rugby stars Ben Healy and Jake Flannery helped to put England to the sword in Ireland's 42-26 win over their near neighbours at the Under-20 Rugby World Championship in Argentina on Tuesday.
Ireland initially trailed 0-10, but six tries, including strikes from Ben Healy and Jake Flannery, saw Noel McNamara's men surge to a terrific win. Jake Flannery started the game while Ben Healy was introduced as a replacement.
Jake Flannery hails from Bansha and is a former student at Rockwell College while fellow Tipp man Ben Healy (Rapla, Nenagh) is a former Nenagh Ormond RFC and Glenstal Abbey player.
