Ireland U-20 vs England U-20 Preview
These are generally two of the best U20 sides in the world alongside defending U20 world champions, France. They drew last season, and I expect this game to go to the wire with Ireland to just have too much in the end.

Head to Head
Ireland and England drew 32-32 in the 2024 U20 Six Nations.
Ireland U-20 Form
Ireland U20 had a fine 2024 but failed to win any of the championships they were involved in. Early in the year, the Irish lost out to England by one point in the Six Nations, before finishing fourth at the World U20 Rugby Championship.
Both tournaments could have gone Ireland’s way, particularly the Six Nations where they held England to a draw away from home. It was the four-try bonus point that England picked up in that game that won the tournament in the end.
Later in the year, Ireland once again looked strong in the World Championship before losing out in the semi-final. They suffered a defeat to New Zealand in the fight for third.

Like every year, there are massive changes to the Ireland squad from 2024 as this is an age-based tournament. Still, the Irish have a few players from last season to offer experience and plenty of talent coming through the ranks.
England U-20 Form
England won the 2024 U20 Six Nations tournament, going through their five games unbeaten, just like Ireland did. They drew when they met.
However, England picked up a crucial bonus point in that draw which allowed them to sneak into first place to win by one point.
The English were again magnificent at the U20 World Championship where they finished as runners-up to France, losing 21-13 in the final.

England have plenty of quality within their ranks but getting them to gel together is always the biggest challenge.
Verdict
Ireland U20 are backed to win this game by a narrow margin. These two teams drew in the 2024 Six Nations.
