[@dannicky]

U20s is the purest, quickest most entertaining version of professional rugby. Glad to see it getting some love

[@bobhutton1409]

I couldn't agree more; there is an enthusiasm, and a natural ability that often seems lacking among the "full" England team.

[@dougclark9921]

@@bobhutton1409 2 or 3 years from now these boys will have had the fun coached out of them too

[@bobhutton1409]

@@dougclark9921 You are so right, the same applies to young footballers. I enjoy, more, watching the schoolboy internationals before the coaches show them the "proper" way to play.

[@kerrylass2]

It's brilliant!

[@jasonsmith902]

It's almost as good as Rugby League

[@nebnebshooter]

As a kiwi I love to see a full crowd for an under 20 game. especially since we can barley fill a stadium for a super rugby game.

[@thadtuiol1717]

Super rugby is dying, time for a rethink

[@directmale7168]

That’s a lot of barley, for a lot of beer👌👍

[@iainarthur7713]

Paul is a great place for the game

[@mattsharman7101]

It's a problem you guys have for sure

[@Joe07hc]

You should come to Llanelli and see all the empty seats, it is heartbreaking.

[@henrymilleruk100]

That was an incredible game of rugby. A monumental second half

[@chriscollier3197]

Bodes so well for not only future English rugby, but rugby in general. Some cracking games in the whole series, well done all, and massive congrats to champions England

[@totaldebanker]

That 3rd French try was just a thing of beauty.

[@wearsideexile6616]

Well done lads. English and proud. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@tomban-gw7jp]

Really impressive play from both sides - supreme physicality combined with intelligent heads up rugby makes this a pleasure to watch. Very exciting for future 6 nations competitions, well done to all involved.

[@JD-lz2uq]

Impressive play 🤣 France completely collapsed and conceded 33 points in the second half, from a really strong winning position at home. Their forward were literally non existent and conceded a penalty try to make matters worse

[@Roddy1965]

From and Ireland fan, spectacular from England! Well deserved.

[@brianchester4218]

I think from all the 6 nations teams the rugby is entertaining and the game is allowed to flow and not piles of this rubbish kicking

[@markduckmanton4227]

Cheers mate

[@andyglastonbury6032]

I have watched every U20 England game for about 4 years and it’s been wonderful, much like watching my son playing during his Colts days. It’s open, not overly physical and simply a joy to watch, especially without the same level of intrusion by the refs we see in the senior game. Well done England and well done to every player for their efforts 👍

[@randyschwaggins]

As an 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 fan im delighted to see our youngsters dig deep to win this game...brilliant performance...👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 But i have to say...that French 3rd try was one for the ages...🔥🔥🔥

[@raycornford283]

Rugby as it should be played - congrats to both teams for an attacking spectacle!

[@SmkMnk]

Well played England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 those lads are strong af. As a french fan im a bit disappointed but what can you say.. the best won this game 🇨🇵🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿💪

[@farnyone]

What a belting game....that 3rd try for France was something else 👏

[@liamd3345]

What a game that was, had everything and those lads showed some pure grit. Well done England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@michaelmcginn7260]

Bravo England U21s. First class👏👏👍

[@davesmith826]

We have some world-class school and under-20s rugby in SA, but this was outstanding. The last time I saw an English side play like this, they wiped the floor with the ABs in the 2019 World Cup semi final. If the core of this team can progress to seniors side, England will be a formidable foe come 2027.

[@neill392]

History says a couple of them will have premiership careers and possibly 1 will earn a full cap. The reality is, most of them are on dual registration loan at Championship and National 1 clubs and that's where they will end up. Breaking into premiership squads, especially with the reduced salary cap and resultant reduced squad size, is so difficult. If I was guessing, the big second row from Paris and the tight head playing loose head at Sale are the 2 with the best chance.

[@desmonddoyle4470]

Some great rugby in the U20.Congrats England,and a big shout out to Ireland who have been unbeaten in the last 3 Six Nations.

[@jimmyodriscoll9273]

Ooh la la,🤣🤣 what a win well played England "happy days" 🌹🏆

[@sidwallace6053]

Unbelievable result,few sloppy passages of play from both sides,Englands strength in the final third paid off,another great game,I also enjoyed the draw against the Irish,these boys are out to prove that they can step up when the time comes and if the chances arise for the full English team

[@hastyswept5486]

5:18 fair play to England player for not scrapping the French guy, what a knob trying to shove his head like that

[@kev63inuk]

Pollock is the go to guy for opponents to target. He’s chippy but good that he kept his cool after a cheap shot by the losing french player .

[@justinmckeown]

[@routeman680]

Great highlights. I haven't seen action like this for a long time, skill, speed, risk taking, acrobatics. Brilliant performance by both teams, and well won England. Only downside was that awful muzak in the background. I couldn't have sat through that.

[@Joe07hc]

I missed the first hour of this live because I was watching the Welsh game. But the strength and dynamism of the English no.5 right to the death was incredible to witness, you've got another world class second row on your hands there boys 👍

[@utubeape]

Far more entertaining than any of the senior games, well done to both teams

[@ashtongodfrin6999]

It'll be sad to see Danny Care, Manny Tuilagi and Elliot Daly retire, but the future looks bright for England Rugby!

[@Chief_Brody]

Tuilagi should have been no where near the England set up years ago.

What a turnaround. That interception at the beginning of the second half started the comeback. The French will always find something to moan about. U20’s will have more entertainment and be better than the men’s main team.

[@jonathanjones691]

what a cheap shot @ 5:16

[@TheCourage89]

Complete cheap shot. Amazed Pollock didn’t smack him for that

[@Whoknows-zu2eb]

Their attitude was poor all game, the 15 sticking his tongue out to the covering player when scoring the first try summed it up. In the end it was probably that which was their undoing, whereas England stayed humble and fought till the end.

[@spencermackay9020]

Pau loves every minute of it, but what did Tinky Winky, Dipsy and La La make of 45 points?

[@_drewcifer]

What a performance!

[@pondlife1952]

Look at those three French tries in first half; scored with supporting runners in attendance. England’s were mostly forward play and individual effort. For some reason we don’t seem to coach the importance of support runners. Look at the sheer number of AB games you’ll watch and see support on either shoulder waiting for the scoring pass.

[@JulieDorsetBelle]

Did you watch the whole match? I did...and it was glorious. Highlights actually don't do the English side justice. Terrific team effort from both sides...and it takes supporting players to drive a maul over the line!!!

[@user-pc2li4mw4q]

Great win Well done boys

[@neilcarpenter2669]

That was some win as France had their best players available for this match and didn't want England to win the title on french soil.

[@JD-lz2uq]

They were still absolutely terrible in the 2nd half when their forwards disappeared. Conceding 33pts in a half is so very poor

Judging by your name you're probably not even English but most likely a frustrated Italian supporting England just because they're playing against France, let me remind you the standings for all previous confrontations between France and Italy : 3 wins for Italy, 45 wins for France. That's all. Have a nice day.
