The Irish had 2 warm up games in the leadup. Our boys will be more cohesive this time around.

It's a good team.

BUT have the feeling the French will smash us.

Likely to be our toughest game. France have retained a few players from last year including the very impressive No 8 Joseph. They beat Wales 32-10 last week. We'll be better for a game and SP will provide excellent home support.

Ok maybe the U20’s need to have a warm up game maybe against Georgia U20’s pre 6N’s as this is a completely different team they look awake.

Kind of wish England would now finish off one of the scrum advantages

Not part of the ruck but in the side.

not impressed with the ref at all. Our defence is weak, and cant keep giving them the ball.

Smith and Redpath are talented but neither are close to international rugby which was being touted last season.

Forwards looking good, although Joesph is still the pack out of all of them even behind a beaten pack

Ditto Lawrence. Dingwall imo way ahead. Sleightholme and Hinkley impressing tho.

Our tackling is very disappointing.

Hinckley is looking very good wonder how much game time he will get at Gloucester, (if all fit).

We are bloody good up front, fair play. Very dynamic and intense. Sort out the tackling and ball retention tho- including stop kicking it away,

Got a lot of time for Heyes especially after looking at his Instagram story been through a lot, and nice to see him talk about it and offer help to others.

Hinkley is bloody good, very intelligent and loads of skill.

Joseph is good, but he does play like the big lad in every U13 side.

But usually at U20’s that big lad is pretty useless.
