Video: Tries from rising Tipperary stars Ben Healy and Jake Flannery help put England to the sword at U20 World Cup

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.

Below you will find a video of Ben Healy's try in the 66th minute which propelled Ireland into a 35-26 lead.

Next up is the Jake Flannery strike which launched the Irish fight back from 0-10 down in the 11th minute.

Ireland will play all of their pool B games in Santa Fe at the Club de Rugby Atheneo Immaculada and will also compete against Australia (June 8) and Italy (June 12) - the games will be shown live on Eir Sport.
