World Rugby U20 Championship

France unchanged for World Rugby U20 Championship final against Ireland

France U20 coach Sébastien Calvet has named an unchanged starting XV for the World Rugby U20 Championship final against Ireland U20 this Friday to the one that came back to beat England U20 in the semi-final.

All 15 members of the side that overturned a 17-0 deficit at Athlone Stadium to win 52-31 on Sunday have been rewarded with a starting berth, with only one change being made on the bench.

The 6-2 split on the bench adopted in the semi-final to overcome England U20’s pack has been replaced by a conventional bench, which sees centre Arthur Mathiron replace back-row Andy Timo.

Though England U20 gave Les Bleuets their sternest test so far this Championship, they were still no match in the end. England U20’s 21 point deficit was, however, the closest any team has got to France U20 in the tournament, alongside New Zealand U20 who also lost by the same margin.

Calvet’s team will face an Ireland U20 side that have gone from strength to strength since their draw with England U20 in the opening round, booking their spot in the final with a 31-12 win over hosts South Africa U20 in the semi-final.

I see what you mean about the early push, RW. That final penalty was ludicrous.

'There's a lot of rugby knowledge': David Havili's reasoning behind in-form backline

Havilli has been great, Chay Fihaki starting to really find his feet at this level.

Blues seemed quite happy to let the Crusaders have 15-20m of space to play around with for as long as they liked before the defence closed.

It’s a pretty young forward pack they put out too, got well beaten to the punch at critical times.

Blues vs Crusaders takes: Blues season on it's last legs, Penney proved right

I thought it was a mistake to start Chay Fihaki over Macca Springer after Springer’s 5 try performance. Fihaki played very well as did Springer when he came on in the second half. Both have very good kicking games for wings in addition to pace.

Come off it mate, been a critic of him being inconsistent myself, but this year he’s been one of the Crusaders best. His passing game has been elite, his kicking on point and he’s making decent inroads with his carry. Who knows if he can make it work in the Int game, but he’s had a cracker Super so far

Peato Mauvaka cops ban for headbutt on Scotland star

Months earlier, I’d sunk $156,000 into what I thought was a golden opportunity, an online cryptocurrency investment promising sky-high returns. The website was sleek, the testimonials glowing, and the numbers kept climbing. But when I tried to withdraw my profits, the platform froze. Emails went unanswered, support chats died, and my “investment” vanished into the digital ether. I’d been scammed, and the sting of it burned deep.Desperate, I stumbled across Alpha Spy Nest while scouring the web for help. Their site/reviews didn’t promise miracles, just results, specialists in tracking down lost funds from online scams. Skeptical but out of options, I reached out. The process started with a simple form: I detailed the scam, uploaded screenshots of transactions, and shared the wallet addresses I’d sent my crypto to. Within hours, they confirmed they’d take my case.What followed was like watching a high-stakes chess game unfold, though I only saw the moves, not the players. Alpha Spy Nest dove into the blockchain, tracing my funds through a maze of wallets designed to obscure their path. They explained how scammers often use mixers to launder crypto, but certain patterns like timing and wallet clustering, could still betray them. I didn’t understand half of it, but their confidence kept me hopeful. Hours later, they updated me: my money had landed in an exchange account tied to the scam network. They’d identified it through a mix of on-chain analysis and intel from sources I’d never grasp. After 24 hours, i got a message, my funds were frozen in the scammer’s account pending review. Alpha Spy Nest had apparently flagged it just in time.  After some back-and-forth, the exchange with the help of Alpha Spy Nest reversed the transactions, and $145,000 of my original $156,000 hit my wallet. The rest, they said, was likely gone forever, siphoned off early. I never met anyone from Alpha Spy Nest, never heard a voice or saw a face. Yet, their methodical precision pulled me back from the brink. My money wasn’t fully restored, but the recovery felt like a win, a lifeline from a faceless ally in a world of digital shadows.

'I’m no Andy Farrell am I? But I’d pick him'

I hope Ford doesn’t go. He’d be wasted on that tour.


Better to go on England's summer tour instead. Playing Argentina is going to be a bigger challenge, and England tours are far more important.

Player ratings: Which England players impressed against Italy?

Sing - 6 out of 10, kicked some conversions and plodded down the wing a couple of times. Muir 8 out of 10, made a number of piercing runs and part of a dominant front row. Clifford 7.5 out of 10, effective around the park and scrummaged well. Venner - 6 out of 10, easy try but failed to convert other opportunities that Kildunne, Dow, Breach, MacDonald and Millie David would have eaten for breakfast. Shekells 7.5 out of 10, looked a very promising prospect at number 12. Perhaps I watched a different game?

One good performance shouldn’t change the fact he hasn’t been consistent. Sure they beat broken down blues team who’s bottom of table for a reason.

Red Roses take home bonus point despite disappointing second half against Italy

It will be interesting to see in the future whether any tries scored soon after a scrum are chalked off by the TMO for a crooked scrum feed. Takeaways for me, other than an extremely mediocre 2nd half, were that Sing has only one advantage over EK and that is her place kicking. When she did get a run down the wing it was at Maher's funereal pace. Millie David is a better finisher than Venner and should be in the squad instead. Shekell looked a very likely understudy if not equivalent to Heard. Marlie Packer not a starter anymore.

Bulls' Jake White: 'It’s stupid things, stupid - unbelievably stupid'

Successfully conned the officials, not only at the scrum, but for the maul penalty try.


Successfully inflicted 8 head injuries without conceding a single high tackle penalty.


Seems they're more than “smart” enough to exploit the negligence of Ben Whitehouse and the hometown AR’s.

Former New Zealand flanker and coach Alex ‘Grizz’ Wyllie dies

So sad and sorry to hear yesterday about Alex Wyllies passing. When I first went to Lancaster Park , Grizz was the captain and no8. A fearsome legend. His time coaching Canterbury 1982-86 , was one of the highlights of my life. 82-85 , was Canterbury’s record equalling Ranfurly Shield era, culminating in the “Match of the Century” , when we lost it to Auckland . I was at that game and the rest, it was one for the ages. Inspired by Grizz Canterbury nearly won it, after being 24-0 down. In 1986 Canterbury thrashed the touring Wallabies, who went on to beat the All Blacks 2-1 in that test series.Alex Wyllie inspired 2 of the players who were huge parts of his Shield team, to become great coaches in there own right. They are of course , Wayne Smith and Robbie Deans . Canterbury /Crusaders and international legends. Robbie Deans was the goal kicking hero on many occasion in that era, none more than when he kicked the equalizing penalty against Counties in the first up Shield challenge, a game I was at. As with the rest of those games. Wayne Smith scored the try to claim the Shield in Wellington a week earlier It was a pleasure to meet Grizz on a number of occasions. Rest in peace Grizz. A red and black legend , first class. He was also an All Black and one of our greatest AB coaches.

Brumbies on high alert: Len Ikitau’s stark warning over ex-boss

For 14 heart-stopping days, there were daily reports told to me in plain, understandable English. They worked with external cybersecurity professionals and even with the regulatory bodies to ensure that all measures were taken to get our money back without compromising our firm's confidential data. My hopes were revived with each report. Finally, on the fourteenth day, I received the news that elevated my heart: our balance locked in was restored in full. Not only did Tech Cyber Force Recovery recover our Bitcoin, but they also provided us with priceless guidance in protecting our systems from future attacks. In the process, they not only recovered our money but regained the trust of our customers.
