Fiachna Barrett is in final preparation for Friday's U20 Rugby World Cup final. The Geesala man has been selected in the match-day squad for the clash with France which kicks off at 6pm (Irish time) in Athlone Stadium in Cape Town.
Head coach Richie Murphy is looking forward to the challenge and says his team are ready for the biggest game of their careers to date. “The entire group are fully focused on producing our best performance of the season on Friday night because we know we’ll need it against a very strong France team. We have made good progress throughout the tournament but we will need to fine-tune all areas of our game for the final.
“The players and staff are excited about the challenge ahead and we look forward to representing Ireland in the World Rugby U20 Championship final. The level of support we have received from back home throughout has been incredible and a major boost for everyone, and we will do everything to finish the season on the ultimate high.”
Friday’s match will be carried live on Virgin Media Two.
