World Rugby has announced that France will host the World Rugby U20 Championship in 2018 with matches being played in Béziers, Perpignan and Narbonne. I’d heard that these were going to be held in Scotland or Argentina in 2018 but it looks as though a bit of horse trading has been going on in the corridors of power.

As it is, it now looks like a pleasant 18 days in the South of France, which is no hardship. 🙂

  • The actual match days are as follows
    • Pool Match 1 – 30 May 2018.
    • Pool Match 2 –  3 June 2018
    • Pool Match 3 – 7 June 2018
    • Semi Finals – 12 June 2018
    • Finals – 17 June 2018.

As before, this compact little tournament features three pools of four teams, with the pool winners and the best runner-up progressing to the semi-finals, the rest of the teams playing off for positional ranking points.

Ireland are in . . .
