Kenneth Fox
Ireland have taken a huge step towards the semi-finals of the World Rugby Under-20 Championship.
Richie Murphy's team earned a hard-fought bonus-point win over Australia in South Africa.
James Nicholson, Brian Gleeson, Gus McCarthy and Diarmuid Mangan all scored tries in the 30-10 win in a rainy Paarl.
After drawing with England - Ireland needed to win to have a chance at topping the group, which secures a last-four berth.
Up next is Fiji who they face on Tuesday.
A huge bonus point W in South Africa! š#FutureIsGreen | @PwCIreland pic.twitter.com/M5AaL2wFDK
