Jubilant Richie Murphy's Ireland under-20 Grand Slam winners will have no World Cup to compete in this year, but the hope is there will be a summer tournament for the newly-crowned champions.
Ireland crowned a brilliant tournament by demolishing Scotland 59-5 at a packed Musgrave Park this evening, thus becoming the third under-20s team to win all five of their championship games after the 2007 and 2019 victors but the first to achieve the feat by beating England and France away from home.
The hosts were hot favourites going into the clash and had the bonus point wrapped up well before half-time and Ireland piled on the punishment before Fionn Gibbons burst through a couple of defenders to score his team's ninth try in the 78th minute.
