Ireland face a talented, dangerous France team in Friday's U20 World Cup final.
TOMORROW IS THE big day for the Ireland U20s as Richie Murphy’s side take on France in the U20 World Championship final.
In round two, they built on that strong start with a superb display against New Zealand, storming into a 21-0 lead by half-time and going on to win 35-14. France then closed out their group campaign by beating Wales 43-19, where again, they did most of the damage in the first half, leading 24-7 at the break.
Players to watch: Posolo Tuilagi has rightly been grabbing headlines recently, and the 145kg lock is an absolute powerhouse in the heart of a big French pack. While he’s still only 18, Tuilagi has had plenty of exposure to top level rugby this year, featuring 16 times for Perpignan across the Top 14 and Challenge Cup.
Strengths/weaknesses: France love this competition, and are looking to become only the second nation to win three U20 World Championship titles in a row, having won the last two editions in 2018 and 2019.
