Head to Head
These two met in the 2024 Six Nations with the match ending in a draw in England.
England U20 Form
England have been imperious in 2024 and are unbeaten in eight matches. They won the U20 Six Nations by a single point over Ireland.
When these two met in the Six Nations, the match ended in a draw, so it doesn’t get much closer than this. England cruised through the group stage, beating Argentina and Fiji in the opening two games.
Against the hosts, South Africa, England proved too good again in very wet conditions, winning the game 17-12.
England U20 Injuries & Team News
England will be putting out their strongest side for the Cup semi-final. I don’t expect too many changes from the side that played South Africa on Tuesday.
Ireland U20 Form
Ireland, like England, are unbeaten in eight games this season. However, Ireland have a score to settle with England after the English won the Six Nations earlier this year by a single point.
Ireland and England drew their game in the Six Nations, and both went on to win all their remaining games.
In the U20 World Rugby Championship, Ireland thrashed Italy to get started before narrowly seeing off Georgia 22-16 after resting all their key players.
Ireland’s last game was cancelled against Australia as stormy and wet weather in Cape Town made the field unplayable.
Ireland U20 Injuries & Team News
With a game less played, Ireland should be much fresher than England for this encounter.
Verdict
I am backing Ireland U20 to win this semi-final.
