Tommy O'Brien was named Man of the Match as Ireland beat France 27-22 at Donnybrook in the U20 Six Nations on Friday night.

The Leinster back touched down for a try 24 minutes into the game when he collected his own grubber kick.

13 minutes into the second half, with Ireland leading 24-10, a fine French backline move created space on the outside for William Iraguha.

Tommy O'Brien had other ideas, though. The centre read the situation superbly to put in a brilliant, try-saving tackle on Iraguha.
