France U20s vs Wales U20s

Anyone watching?

Wales scrum is going well, they just had a good overlap but too eager clearing out and got pinged

And the French FH kicks straight into a Welsh players hands and they run it in under the posts

France 0 - 7 Wales

Think it's been mentioned, France look the more talented team but totally disorganised!!!

When the ball goes wide they hurt us but thier set peice is a mess!!!

That 10 is a cracking little player but is being eaten alive, he needs some protection, and someone to take the ball on for him.

The Welsh 10? He was dire last week, looks better today.

Welsh defence is very good, France getting a lot of possession at the moment, but it has only led to a penalty.

Good kick though

3 - 7

No the French 10 I meant, he was very good last week, and looks like he's too used to being a star, he is getting mullered!!

Very impressed with the Welsh defence, but we need to learn when to just leave a lost ruck alone!!!

Welsh scrum looks dominant with our THP back from injury, they should be using it more, looking for the penalty.

Nice to see the U20s scrum dominating everyone for the last 2 seasons - even without Samson Lee now.

Dan Thomas and Nicky are cracking players, Nicky has the french front row on toast, but France are doing very well to use ball quickly and negate the issue, unlike we did last night!!!

Same story as last week, forwards doing well, but the backline not firing, except in defending out wide

2 on one with both Welsh wingers and the no11 runs into touch

That's the backs problem I was referring too.

Cory Allen is the man who knows what to do!

Easy dummy and clean through

3 - 12

Some clever kicks by the back though

Easy score from Allen, France look disheveled.

Williams lovely break and was it Allen who made that hit? WOW!

I think it was Ellis Jenkins - the number 8 was up in support quickly!

What a pass by Allen!

And Rhodri Williams up in support to take the wingers slightly off pass back to Allen

That should have been 2 for Allen, he will have to settle for the assist.

Excellent try

3 - 19

Another try, decent french team who are a mess!!!

They could be on for a thumping here, it's so hard for the younger boys to keep heads in the game and claw a comeback!!!

Unreal pace from these boys.

Eh? Pace?!

This Welsh team has a good chance is this competition, they will have Patchell and Robinson back for the England and Scotland game - and hopefully the Dragons U20s lads too.

England have already lost to Ireland (they were down to 14 men for 60 minutes), so they could still have a chance if they lose to England. Not sure on how good the Scottish or Italians are this year, but they don't tend to have much strength in the U20s.

Italy lost to France in the dying moments, they will be a tough challenge, especially out in Italy!!!

Scotland will be Scotland, organised but limited (like us)

England are the team to beat, but they can be overpowering in the least!

Do you know if Italy beat Scotland? Thats a great result for Italy to have nearly beaten France, when you consider how poor they were in the JWC.

Jordan Williams on - look like he is at FB for an injured winger - pity, I would have liked to see him at FH

Who is the current U20s coach?

He is obviously doing a good job, the teams have been a lot more physical and competitive over the last 2 years (especially beating the baby blacks)

Wow! Just tuned in and look at the score!

6-21 at 42 minutes. Great stuff!

Scotland look big up front. We're going to need our big boys back for that game and the England game. Nice to hear this game is going well though after the turd rugby they dished out last week against Ireland. I thought the team selection for this game was all wrong!

It's S4C if you can get it

The Welsh scrum hasn't been as good this half - and our LHP has a yellow card

Or you can watch it online live (from a UK server):

Ta babes.

Ouch, 7 man Welsh scrum demolished

And France are in at the corner

11 - 21.

Why would he sin bin our LH though? That seems a bit unfair if there's didn't get binned in the first half...

Right, i'm off to the pub to watch the 6Ns, I hope the Welsh lads can hold on to this 8pt lead

...just after this lineout

Good DG

13 - 24

Nothing wrong with that tackle.

That was bollox. France took that scrum down!

Play acting by the French wing there. Ref gives a card for the decision made by the crowd.

Agree.

Score?

Great win 13-27 -

Better than last week.

Great result for the under 20s there.
