Dragons hooker Sam Scarfe grabbed a superb try as Wales U20s kicked off their Six Nations campaign with a bonus-point 44-27 defeat to reigning Grand Slam champions Ireland at the Stadiwm Zip World in Colwyn Bay.
Dragons ace and captain Ryan Woodman, in his first game leading the side, would have been impressed by his side’s willingness to play and their attacking intent against the Ireland.
Wales fully played their part in a pulsating contest that could not have been further away from the 53-5 defeat Wales suffered in Cork last season.
Wales claimed a bonus point for scoring four tries through centres Louie Hennessey and Llien Morgan, who crossed for two, and the try of the match by hooker Scarfe.
