Scotland fell to a second successive defeat in the Under-20s Six Nations as Ireland proved too strong in Edinburgh. The visitors raced into a commanding early lead, with winger Charlie Molony scoring a hat-trick and Billy Corrigan crossing to secure a bonus point inside 21 minutes.

After their defeat to England last weekend Ireland reignited their Six Nations Under-20 title ambitions with a workmanlike win over a Scotland side that claimed the second honours.

Ireland take on Scotland this evening on matchday two of the Six Nations U20 Championship. Neil Doak's side kicked off their campaign with a loss at home to England last weekend, while Scotland also tasted defeat as they came out the wrong side of a 22-10 loss to Italy.
