Royal School Armagh v Wallace High | Lisburn school use forward power to lead at half-time

Quinn Armstrong splits the Armagh defence with an outstanding flat pass to James Gould and the hooker has the pace to match his power to charge into the Armagh 22 and set up the chance!

Arguably Wallace should score before they do as a couple of passes don’t go, but it isn’t to matter as McDonagh smashes over from close range once again!

This is just brute strength from Wallace High as eight-man rugby gets them their second try and back into the lead!

Ironically, it’s the backs who start it off as centre Harry Daniel makes the initial surge that gets them into the 22, but from there it’s all about the forwards as Rio McDonagh, Gould, Ben Moore and Sam Warwick all have surges that take them closer to the whitewash and eventually scrum-half Alex Stevenson is able to fling the pass to Gould who dives under the posts for the seven-pointer!

What an offload from Evan Hughes!

Armagh win the line-out in the middle and everyone piles into the maul, with Wallace having to sack it illegally to prevent the try, but the Armagh forwards go to work to punch some holes in the defence before Hughes rides a tackle and flings the offload away to centre Cummings to go over!

He won the turnover penalty to get Wallace into the 22 and it’s only deserved that McDonagh is the man who gets the try, Wallace playing with penalty advantage as the maul is sacked illegally by Armagh and after an outstanding tackle on the line by Sam Gray to halt Quinn Armstrong from getting over, it’s loosehead prop McDonagh who wrestles over!
