IRELAND’S Under-20s kick off their Six Nations campaign this evening in Cork.

In case you need a reminder, they fell just short of a hat-trick of consecutive titles last March as England topped the table.

So this figures to be a massive match-up in where the trophy will ultimately wind up with England first up for Neil Doak’s youngsters.

As is tradition, the Under-20s will serve as the curtain-raiser before the two nations’ senior side clash at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday.

Here’s everything to know around how to catch today’s action:

What TV channel is Ireland U20s vs England on?

The match will be shown live on Virgin Media Two.

So you also have the free streaming option provided by the Virgin Media Player.

Kick-off from a sold-out Virgin Media Park, formerly Musgrave, in Cork will be at 7.45pm.

Coverage will commence 15 minutes prior.

What is the Irish team?

Ireland: Charlie Molony; Derry Moloney, Connor Fahy, Eoghan Smyth, Ciaran Mangan; Sam Wisniewski, Clark Logan; Alex Usanov, Henry Walker, Alex Mullan; Mahon Ronan, Billy Corrigan; Michael Foy, Bobby Power, Éanna McCarthy (capt).

Replacements: Connor Magee, Billy Bohan, Tom McAllister, David Walsh, Oisin Minogue, Andrew Doyle, Gene O’Leary Kareem, Daniel Green.

Main event build-up:

Sam Prendergast has graduated from starring for the U20s in successive Grand Slam campaigns to seemingly being set to start on Saturday in the biggest game of his fledgling career.

Andrew Goodman spoke earlier in the week about what a big benefit having Johnny Sexton onboard as a coaching consultant will be for Prendergast, Jack Crowley and Ciaran Frawley.

Goodman said: “He’s great to have around, apart from being a great padel partner – he’s sharp on the courtside and I try to get in with him as much as I can.

“He’s doing the coaching with the kicking and mental (skills) with the 10s.

“Who could you ask better for a young Irish No 10 to have Johnny Sexton around, watching training with you and giving you live feedback in training and everything else.

“He’s been in touch with them most weeks through the provincial European games. They have a great laugh together.

“The young No 10s all work well together and there’s often times they’re together chewing the fat around the game.”

But Goodman believes that former captain Sexton can also help the rest of the players, and the coaches.

He said: “Not just the 10s though, he’s been a great leader for this country as a captain so with a new captain in the group and some younger leaders coming through as well, it’s a massive, important year.

“He’s around for all players to use – not just the 10s.

“Around his leadership, not only with Ireland but with his province as well he’s passing on bits of wisdom to all of them.”

“For us coaches, he’s got such a great eye on the game.

“Personally, myself, I run things past him and I love him because he’s honest and he’ll provide his own opinion on things as well.

“And that always leads to discussion and debate and then ultimately you get to a really good spot.

“I’m using him a lot, he’s got a great eye for the game and hopefully he can continue in that role for as long as possible.”

ONE Direction fans’ hopes for a reunion were bolstered last night as Zayn Malik was joined by a former bandmate at his solo gig in LA.

Louis Tomlinson blended in with the crowd to watch Zayn perform his smooth R&B, but word quickly reached the singer that his friend was in attendance.

He told the crowd: “Alright so tonight’s kind of special, I know a friend of mine is here to support me tonight, he’s somewhere here I don’t want to give his location away but Louis’ here…”

The audience went absolutely crazy, squealing in delight at the mention of Louis’ name.

Doncaster lad Louis smiled and clapped his chest while standing on a balcony towards the back of the theatre.

One fan on X wrote: “I’m going to explode.”

Another said: “I’m sobbing so hard.”

Another wrote: “This makes my heart happy.”

Former Direction stars Zayn, Louis, Niall Horan and Harry Styles have been brought closer together in recent months following the tragic death of Liam Payne.

The music world was rocked when Liam died after falling from his hotel’s third floor balcony in Argentina while intoxicated.

His bandmates each issued heartfelt statements after his death and reunited to pay their respects at his funeral in November.

Zayn has since paid tribute to Liam on his solo tour.

There are also murmurings that the 1D lads could get together at the Brit Awards to honour their late friend.

A music industry source said: “The tribute to Liam at this year’s awards show has caused a real buzz and speculation that the remaining One Direction bandmates could finally come back together again on stage.

“It would be an entirely fitting way to honour Liam and talks are already under way about how to make this segment of the Brits unforgettable.

“Liam loved the Brit Awards and attended and performed many times over the years, both with 1D and as a solo artist, and will forever be part of the show’s history.

“It’s still in the very early stages of preparation and the finer details are still being worked out, with official approaches to be made in coming weeks, but there are set to be a mixture of performances, tasteful photo and video montages and a live orchestra.

“As well as the possibility of the One Direction lads being involved, other stars from the industry will be on hand to remember Liam on the night.”

PERSONAL trainer Karl Henry has revealed the truth behind feeling nauseous during exercise during the 40 Day Health Challenge.

And the coach also shared why the ‘Go Hard or Go Home’ attitude doesn’t work.

Trish Buckley, from Raheny in Dublin, admitted she felt sick at times while training.

Self-confessed wine lover Trish lost 1.3kg in the first week of the challenge – dropping from 72.6kg to 71.3kg.

Now half way through the challenge, Karl revealed Trish’s progress to date.

Karl said: “First and foremost, you were 72.6 kilos on day one. Today, 69.3 kilos – eight pounds down.”

Fellow recruits from the challenge cheered Trish on for her major weight loss.

Karl continued: “So starting day one, you were 57 from a metabolic perspective, today, 49.”

The 53-year-old joked that she would be a child by the time the challenge is over.

Karl added: “There’s nothing like a decade shift with a metabolic age profile.”

The experts discussed how feeling nauseous during exercise is “quite common”.

Karl said: “What I will say is it isn’t a sign of an effective workout.

“It isn’t a sign of progress. It isn’t necessarily a positive sign. Some people love it.

“There is a new trend exercise wise in the country, which is, it’s go hard or go home and you’re not working out unless you’re vomiting on the way out. That’s not what we aim for.”

The health pro explained that people don’t have to be “really sore” after a workout.

He said: “The point is, the reassurance piece, really from us, I wanted to bring it up, is that actually, what you’re doing is perfect.

“You’re pushing yourself hard, you’re red faced, you’re slightly out of breath, you’re tired after the workouts.

“You’re struggling a little in some of the exercises. Yeah, that is all normal. That is all progression.”

Recruit Trish told how she has already accomplished a major goal since starting the challenge.

She said: “My aim on this show was after 40 days that I could run a 5k and I did that two weeks ago already in 36 minutes.

“Because I said ‘I will definitely run a 5k at the end of it’ and I ran it in two weeks. And that’s because of all your help.”

Karl added: “Your body adapts as it gets stronger. It recovers faster with the right food on board.

“Afterwards, it recovers quicker. So you recover quicker overnight, the change makes it more difficult.

“So we change every 10 days throughout the phases of the plan. So it does get more challenging.”
