Head to Head


Last year at this very tournament France U20 thrashed New Zealand 35-14.

France U20 Form


France had a disappointing 2024 U20 Six Nations campaign but will be looking to go very deep into this tournament. As defending champions, France have the squad to go the distance once again.

In their opening game, France had little trouble putting Spain away, winning 49-12 in Cape Town. While not much can be read into that, this test is a whole different story.

This is the big game for France and will determine whether they can still fight for the title. Defeat would mean they are likely out of the running for the trophy.

France are likely to make quite a few changes to their side for this game. It was always going to be their big game of the group stage and thus they kept players fresh last weekend against Spain.

New Zealand U20 Form


New Zealand have historically been the dominant side in U20 rugby. They have the most World Championship titles but have not dominated in recent years.

In their opener, the Baby All Blacks struggled against Wales, winning the match 41-34. It was a fixture they would have hoped to be more comfortable in, considering the average year the Welsh have had at this level.
