Can Les Bleus avoid a Black-wash in New Zealand?

I doubt that.

The Junior Springboks, as well as the English youngters last year, seem to be a level above.

The back 3 is phenomenal, really outstanding with Pead, and the rest of the team seems very solid on the fundamentals.

And it’s not like they haven’t been tested at a higher level: they played the 6 Nations second team and they’ve won it with a good margin, while England struggled to defeat Australia, smashed by SA 10 days back.

Of course, it can all be relative as usually in sports, especially in rugby.


U20 France seems more balanced than last year, but they lack the experience of a few Top14 seasoned players like Reus or Castro-Ferreira.

On the other hand, they’re probably more fresh.

The issue seems to be the same as last year - less talent than the 2003 team, less leaders and less experience. The defense is more frail, but yesterday, they might have wanted the Argentinians to get the bonus point in order to have the Red Roses out of the competition.


And yet, they’re still a very good team, that can score from anywhere.

They’ve lost a few key players to injuries like Akrab (crown player of the U20 Nations) or Leveque yesterday, I hope it’s not too serious, with other guys out of the tournament in the previous games.

Against NZ, I think they can go past. But against SA, I can’t see them containing the supertalents from behind.


Last year, the English pack was out of this earth, with a very solid backline. And in the atrocious weather conditions of the final, they marched on the French pack with their sheer power, with no options for the creative players in the back to express themselves.

We’ll see this year!


But honestly, for now, the Junior Springboks seem to be the very exciting and deserving team they’re displaying in the competition.
