2021 U20 Fixtures

[fivepointer]

The 2021 Under-20 Six Nations Championship will be played this summer between 19 June and 13 July in Cardiff.

The decision to hold the Championship in one venue was taken to reduce the risk around travel, to ensure greater rest periods and structured training and therefore meet many of the performance opportunities lost in recent times.

Matchday squads will consist of 26 players due to the condensed format of the competition and all five matchdays will feature three matches played consecutively.

Every match will be broadcast in Six Nations territories either on terrestrial TV, broadcaster streaming platforms or via Six Nations digital channels.

Saturday 19 June - England v France (KO 1700 BST)
Friday 25 June - England v Scotland (KO 1400 BST)
Thursday 1 July - Ireland v England (KO 2000 BST)
Wednesday 7 July - Wales v England (KO 2000 BST)
Tuesday 13 July - England v Italy (KO 1400 BST)

Sort of on topic it looks like the BBC have secured the rights to the U20 6 Nations from 2022 - 2025

That was the England team from the other week. Unsure how many of those will make it in as there's quite a few from the England under 20 EPS side named in January playing for their clubs currently.

England could have a very strong squad I notice George Martin was originally in the squad but probably won't be by the summer. The half backs of JVP, Quirke, Bailey, Smith and Atkinson offer a lot of quality and Prem level experience for their age. Joseph in the centres is a pace handful. I'd imagine most of them will remain with the under 20s.

Dan Lancaster is Stuart’s son isn’t he?

Yes.

England won, but I can’t seem to find the actual score anywhere.
