Ireland A can wrestle the Churchill Cup crown from England Saxons when they meet in a Father's Day Championship final at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, Commerce City, Denver next Sunday.

Their 40-5 victory over a battling Georgian team at an Infinity Park, Glendale which flirted with tornado conditions - there were four warnings - secured their first ever final in a tournament won the last two years by the Saxons.

Canada will meet Argentina Jaguars in the Plate final while USA face Georgia in the Bowl to complete a bumper triple header day at Dick's.

Ireland A, who have finished third for the past three years, now have a crack at the Saxons - 56-17 winners over the USA Eagles earlier in the day.

Fergus McFadden led the Irish scoring with two tries and a conversion, while there were also scores from Johne Murphy, giant prop Tony Buckley, debutant fullback Felix Jones and Chris Henry, with Niall O'Connor kicking two penalties and a conversion.

Ireland man-of-the-match Niall Ronan said: "We were happy with the first half but we need to step up next week. England have a lot of experienced players and we have to improve. We lost the ball at the breakdown too much and we didn't finish off a few chances. We need to be focused next Sunday."

Georgia coach Tim Lane had to settle for limiting Ireland A to 12 second half points after they trailed 28-5 at halftime.

Zviad Maisuradze scored their only try and Lane said: "The guys showed a lot more spirit today and we had a better defensive shape but we did give away four or five soft tries. It was an improvement but we need to wok on the basic things."

The ongoing French Top 14 Championships have denied Lane many of his front line players and he admitted: "I would have loved to bring a full team here but as a team we have come on over the past 12 months and there are some good young players to work with here."

Earlier, the Saxons were ruthless in topping Pool A and putting seven tries past the Eagles from Nick Kennedy, Rob Weber, Mick Young, Tom Guest, Brad Barritt, Tom Varndell and electric wing Noah Cato.
