U20 6 Nations 2025

[Groundhog]

Michael Foy looked the real deal again tonight though

Agree Foy was our standout player. Disrupted and slowed them all night. Disappointed with Wood he had an incredibly tough day at the office.

Wales were pathetic tonight. Imo both reds were justified. 1 clear crock roll, and the most clumsy challenge which reserved a red for pure stupidity.

Lineout was appalling.

And we were somehow still in the game up until the last 20min, but butchered kicks to touch etc.

After such a corrageous, disciplined showing last time out v Ireland, that was disapointing vs probably the weakest side in the tournament.

Without getting into the red debates...

It must have been hard for u20s to lose their starting 9 and 20 within 15 mins.

I was dissapointed by the set peice, but it's hard to judge losing a lock early on too.

There are some decent players in that squad, and for the first time in a while a few forwards who look tasty in contact.

It's a decent squad who had a difficult start.

Lineout was awful, but it doesn't help with the first ref call being awful, it was the straightest lineout of the day that first one lol.

Really bad day at the office, especially first 20 mins, but to give them credit they stayed in the fight with grit

That first scrum was a statement

 

[IT157]

Wales bullied in that first scrum

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Oof, what a try

 

[IT157]

Oh wow, Nice try. So much power and size.

What is the Welsh diet? They need to eat more.

 

[Which Tyler]

Beautiful try.
Less so for the conversion

 

[IT157]

Taking time with the clear at the base. Thought the ref was about to blow.

 

[IT157]

I see the broccoli hair cut for teenagers is popular in Wales as well.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Lovely shot of a kid in the crowd shouting W*NKER at the Wales 15 as he runs back after missing multiple whistles haha

 

[IT157]

Early yellow card. Wales really struggling with the size of the English team.

 

[Ddanno]

Binned after 11 mins D:

 

[Ddanno]

Absolutely annihilated

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Jesus, that is such a huge mismatch at scrum

 

[IT157]

The difference between the packs is vast.

 

[dirty harry]

A lot of chat here about size, like England hasn't always had a 7kg advantage per man at u20 level for 30 years...

 

[TommiG88]

England loving some white line fever and it’s cost them two tries

TBF, both were unlucky not to get the score

Correct, England being huge at age group was largely a myth until pretty recently

 

[dirty harry]

As usual it is men against boys.

It doesn't help when English players can throw themselves at rucks from 5m away and land 3m on the wrong side on their heads hahahaha
