U20 6 Nations 2025

[dirty harry]

This English D is lightening quick, Wales 10 has dropped 10m deep and still they are on the 12 as he's taking the ball...

9 needs to manage the D better

 

[IT157]

I missed the start, what's the venue?

Cardiff Arms Park

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Glad I've chosen the golf rather than Rome.

Jaysus this was a bad crop of 20s.

 

[Ddanno]

Cardiff Arms Park

Cheers (and to DH)

 

[dirty harry]

Yes dear

Clearly I'm wrong, England age grade teams are bang average in comparison to the welsh Scots and Irish comparisons hahahahaha

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Ollie Chessum is 6'7. So there is 3 taller than that! The two locks and who else?

Kpoku at 6, Burrow and Sodike all 6’8”+

 

[Geordie]

Ollie Chessum is 6'7. So there is 3 taller than that! The two locks and who else?

Burrow, Kpoku at 6 and Sodike...all 6'8 or 6'9

 

[Quel Carreleur]

Clearly I'm wrong,

Yes, you are

England age grade teams are bang average in comparison to the welsh Scots and Irish comparisons hahahahaha

Some have been, some haven't.
But being "bang average" isn't really the opposite of being "7kg a man heavier"

 

[Geordie]

Kpoku at 6, Burrow and Sodike all 6'8"+

Beat me to it....

 

[IT157]

Kpoku at 6, Burrow and Sodike all 6'8"+

edit. looked at the wrong player lol

 

[dirty harry]

Bendalls work rate already after only 30 mins is unreal...

Turnovers, tackles and carries

 

[TommiG88]

Wales aren’t playing badly, certainly winning the breakdown battle but could see them being knackered come the end

 

[Geordie]

Of course being 6'9 isn't the be all...Johnny Hill a good example.

But the two locks seem to have some brains on them unlike Hill....

 

[Geordie]

6'5. So still huge, but not taller than Chessum.

JR Kpoku is 6'8...

 

[Ddanno]

Tuipolotou could be quite scary

 

[dirty harry]

Yes, you are

Some have been, some haven't.
But being "bang average" isn't really the opposite of being "7kg a man heavier"

Ask any Irish, French, Italian, Scottish and welshman...

England's age grade teams are renowned for being larger and more powerful than their opposition.

Since France started raiding the islands that has mitigated it, but you have to be gonest

 

[Geordie]

Tuipolotou could be quite scary

Take him on the summer tour.

 

[Quel Carreleur]

I'm aware of the mythology.
I'm just also aware of the reality

 

[Ddanno]

Lovely score

 

[IT157]

JR Kpoku is 6'8...

Yeah looked at the wrong player.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Very nice try.

 

[dirty harry]

Steph emanuel has been quality this year

Sadly for Wales age grade we've had a huge amount of cracking back rowers and centres, they've struggled to step up

 

[TommiG88]

They deserve that, Wales are up for it and I feel England have been wasteful

 

[dirty harry]

The frustrating part of Welsh age grade is the errors under no pressure...

The lineout, restarts, and handling

England making similar mistakes

 

[dirty harry]

Bedall has all the ability to be world class...

That kids a freak!

 

[dirty harry]

England making similar mistakes

I'd be frustrated if I was English...

On at least 3 occasions all the hard work done just to make an error at the key phase!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

This is such a overrated England team I feel, It has benefited from a very weak France and Ireland U20's

Tuipolotou is mop the only one I would say is outright destined for Test rugby currently

Nature of u20s I suppose

This is pretty much exactly how I imagine the senior game going tomorrow.
