Conway continues to dazzle despite Irish defeat

If Ireland can take nothing away from this under 20 World Championship then they will still have Andrew Conway emerging as a true International quality winger.
The Blackrock boy was once again the sharpest weapon in Ireland’s arsenal, scoring two tries as they fell to a 42-26 defeat against South Africa.
The Springboks were a vastly superior outfit. That Ireland clocked up a healthy 26 points was down to a mix of some Conway brilliance and Bokke indiscipline which provided 12 points for James McKinney, three of which were from inside the 22 meter mark.
South Africa made a full raft of 11 changes following the win over Scotland. The four men retained were key figures here and at least two of them must surely be in line to make a mark in the senior side before the 2015 World Cup comes around.
