England vs France U20 Predictions


This should be a very good final between the best two teams at the tournament. Earlier this year England comfortably beat France during the Six Nations, but much has changed since then in terms of form.

However, England have looked exceptionally good during this tournament and should be good enough to secure the title against the defending champions.

  • England have won their last 4 matches.
  • England won their last match against France.
  • England won the 2024 U20 Six Nations.
  • France have won 3 of their last 4 matches.
  • France are the defending World Rugby Championship winners.

Head to Head


Earlier this year during the 2024 U20 Six Nations, England beat France 45-31 away from home. These two also met in the 2023 World Rugby Championship semi-final, a match France won 52-31.

England U20 Form


England are unbeaten at the tournament thus far, winning all four matches. They are slight favourites to beat France to the title.

England began with convincing victories over Argentina and Fiji before defeating South Africa 17-12 in very wet conditions in the final group game.

Last week, in the Cup semi-final, England proved too good for Ireland, winning the game 31-20. It was a commanding performance, particularly by the forwards who will once again look do dominate the set pieces in the final.

England U20 Injuries & Team News


England are unlikely to make too many changes to their side that are not forced by injury.

France U20 Form


France came into this World Rugby Championship as defending champions but also underdogs considering their form in 2024. However, they have been better than expected and could well defend their title.

The French cruised past Spain in their opener before losing by a point to New Zealand. Qualification was never in doubt though as they comfortably saw off Wales in the final group game.

Having to face New Zealand again, France rolled in a sublime performance, winning the semi-final with ease 55-31.

After a very impressive semi-final showing, France could well remain unchanged.

Verdict

I am backing England to cover the -3 handicap in the World Rugby Championship final.
