The French group for the world cup in SA

note Gailleton and Bielle Barré are not going as they are in the Senior Group, let's hope they get selected otherwise they will miss both world cup.
Interesting to see Nouchi moved to the backrow. He was monumental at lock in the 6N.

World rugby can fuck off, and then when they get there they can fuck off some more

Argentina 33-15 Italy 66 mins. Thought Italy are strong.

Frustrating to see that English ball protection at the ruck is poor right from senior to age grade level.

It’s so weird that that happened when the previous set up was seeing you guys make such big steps forward at age group level. Totally baffling. Did he get the support to do it because the domestic clubs wanted more control or something?

Very much so. They've won the last two U20 Six Nations and beaten us (England) in the process both times.

Much like the 6N, England very inconsistent and living by the seat of our pants at the breakdown when in possession with how late and sloppy our clean outs often are. Yet our defensive ruck work is pretty strong.

Blimey, I just tuned in and I didn't realise that Cunningham-South was U20s, he's looked good in senior rugby.

The English nr 1 look like a very good player. Surely some Africa blood.

I only caught the last five minutes of the half, but the England lineout appears to be a total shambles.

England have just scored to make it 24 -15

England a bit lucky a couple of passes in the lead up to the try weren't checked.

Interesting. Most of the Ire side is the one from the 6N whereas I couldn't recognise the Eng team.

Lots of the England team are from the 6N as well.

Playing like it too. Capable of some seriously impressive play one moment and stuff you wouldn't expect to see from U12s the next.

Shows how much attention I paid. A bit surprised at Ita getting hammered. They gave Fra a tough time in the opener 6N.

Slevin nailing those touchline conversions has been massively important.
