Jack O'Sullivan capped a man of the match performance tonight with two tries, as the Ireland U20s beat Scotland 30-25 in Donnybrook.
O'Sullivan went over in the 3rd minute powering over despite a lot of attention from the Scottish defence.

There were concerns in the aftermath of the game that defensive lapses were hindering Noel McNamara's side from putting teams to the sword, and his side will have to lower the error count ahead of their final game against England next week.
