Rugby union: Robson and Co battle back to claim second World Championship success
DAN Robson's England under-20 side came from behind to make it two wins out of two at the IRB Junior World Championship in South Africa.
In torrential rain and playing on a mud-laden pitch, England had to work hard for their group stage victory over Ireland, and were trailing 15-3 with just over 25 minutes left to play.

GREAT START: Dan Robson's England team have a 100 per cent record in South Africa after coming from behind to beat Ireland.
But a penalty try and a Kyle Sinckler score helped England across the line, Tom Heathcote adding 10 points with his boot in Stellenbosch.
Former Newcastle-under-Lyme School student Robson, the young Gloucester scrum-half, is now preparing to take on the hosts South Africa today in England's final group game.

Captain Ryan Mills said: "It was really tough against Ireland. Obviously the conditions weren't great, but it was the same for both sides and they really took the game to us."
