Wales U20 26 Ireland U20 26: The width of a post denied Ireland a last-gasp win over Wales in their Six Nations under-20s encounter at Parc Scarlets.
An injury-time try by replacement hooker David Doyle levelled the scores at 26 apiece but left Paddy Jackson a tricky conversion from the right to win the game.
The Methody College youngster had been on form all game – converting one try and kicking three penalties - but amid jeers and whistles from the home crowd he watched helplessly as his final effort rebounded off the near upright.
