France always tends to have a strong U20 side and is shown by their performances at this age level. However, like last season, they Do often struggle this early in the season. 

Wales U-20 Form


Wales U20 finished fifth in the 2024 U20 Six Nations before putting in a decent performance at the U20 World Rugby Championships. There they lost the seventh-place final 47-31 to South Africa.

During the Six Nations, Wales beat Italy and Scotland but were well beaten by France, Ireland and England. With rugby union as a sport struggling in the country, the U20 side will have to offer some hope for the future.

Not many of the Welsh players have provincial experience at this point so it is tough to judge their squad. They do, however, have a few players from last season which will be beneficial.

Verdict

France are tipped to win big by covering the -26.5 handicap against Wales.
