L’équipe de France U20, récente vice-championne du monde, sait dans quels stades elle disputera les deux matchs à domicile du Tournoi des Six Nations U20 de la catégorie.

Si les Bleuets ont dû abandonner leur titre de champions du monde en juillet dernier, après avoir remporté les trois dernières éditions, ils vont rapidement avoir l’occasion de prendre leur revanche sur l’Angleterre, qui les a battus en finale cette année.

Ce sera à l’occasion du Tournoi des Six Nations 2025, pour la 2^e journée de la compétition, et en terres anglaises.

Seulement deux matchs en France en 2025

En cette année impaire, l’équipe de France U20 ne disputera que deux matchs dans l’Hexagone : face au pays de Galles (1^er février) puis face à l’Écosse (14 mars).

La Fédération française de rugby a annoncé ce jeudi les villes hôtes de ces deux rencontres.

Les Bleuets accueilleront les Gallois au stade de la Rabine, à Vannes (21h10), dans un copier-coller de l’édition 2019 : même stade, même adversaire, même journée (la première).

Les jeunes Français signeraient tout de suite pour le même résultat. Leurs prédécesseurs menés par Arthur Vincent, Matthis Lebel ou encore Louis Carbonnel avaient en effet battu le XV du poireau 32-10.

Les jeunes Coqs poursuivront leur aventure par trois déplacements (dans l’ordre, Angleterre, Italie, Irlande), avant de boucler la boucle lors de la réception de l’Écosse. Un match qui aura lieu à Paris, au stade Jean-Bouin.

Coup d’envoi le 14 mars à 21h15, pour la première des Bleuets dans la capitale et une rencontre qui pourrait être décisive dans l’attribution du trophée 2025.

Le programme des U20 pour le Tournoi des Six Nations 2025

Samedi 1er février : France – pays de Galles à Vannes (stade de la Rabine)
Vendredi 7 février : Angleterre – France (lieu à déterminer)
Samedi 22 février : Italie – France (lieu à déterminer)
Vendredi 7 mars : Irlande – France (lieu à déterminer)
Vendredi 14 mars : France – Écosse à Paris (stade Jean-Bouin)

Jason Ryan pinpoints the 'real point of difference' in new All Blacks pack

I believe International Rugby, especially has been a “Jobs for the Boys” merry-go-round for the last 100 years.

The worst example was Strategic Finance. Once again nothing is said about the best fraud in New Zealand History and it’s NZRU connection.

Strategic's failure affected approximately 11,000 investors with a loss of $383m.

Average loss of $35k. Mum and Dad investors, who believed the company run by

NZRFU chairman had to be an “good investment”

Players will have to choose between International Rugby and a consistent playing career in European Clubs.

Hopefully the Players Association will replace NZRFU.

Maybe the NZRFU can run the regions. That way they won’t be able to “embezzle all the funds or take Bribes for “jersey naming rights” E.g. ALTRAD and other back handers.

Can ‘hybrid’ Damian McKenzie lead the All Blacks to a World Cup?

The whole premise of this article is that Dmac is largely to blame for the loss? As the best player and game driver, i think it’s fair to put blame on him. Just like it is fair to put it on Mounga in the same role.

Scott Robertson's loose forwards selections don't add up

At least you have a coach that picks emerging talent and gives them a fair go. England are stuck with Borthwick, who’s selection is awful. He doesn’t pick the players we want to see and he keeps selecting the players that we don’t want to see again. Honestly, I would swap you in a heartbeat - you don’t know how lucky you are in NZ.

The French (especially Du Pont) are scared of the ABs in NZ . End of story. They had an opportunity to be the best team in the world but have missed the boat.

Scott Robertson's loose forwards selections don't add up

Blackadder makes no impact with his ball carry, his tackles while numerous are not dominant, and he doesn’t do much at all the rucks he attends.

Razor described this as ‘lacking effectiveness in contact’ which is coach speak for does F all.

Out of the 5 loose forwards picked, only 2 (Kiriffi and Finau) are specialists, and two of the locks picked cover 6 as well.

With fewer loosies picked, that’s more time training for the ones in the squad.

To be fair, he was reserve second five for one and injured in the second!

Nanai-Seturo did well under the high ball when he came on but too little too late.

Will the 2025 Lions be more, or less, than the sum of their parts?

Not really that much of a surprise that the Lions first hit out was so clunky. New way of playing for most of them, lots of new teammates, unbalanced centres.

I thought that Tomos sped the play up when he came on and his passing was very sharp, but Argentina found a way to counter it.

Fabien Galthie announces France squad to take on the All Blacks

You are right about much there but you are also wrong …do French rugby clubs benefit and have benefited from players and coaches who have developed overseas? yes , is France responsible for “saving “ us no, could they or should they possibly yes , do kiwi fans want to see best players on NZ soil playing in the flesh ( hopefully beating them but not sure we will ) of course yes, if French fans dont care what players ABs send north that’s a little sad at least your rugby media doesn’t write about a second ABs team playing in France because that’s not what’s happening is it if we did would they write it?is the rugby international community a real thing that differentiates our sport?and it’s not always about the amount of people in our kind of small stadiums here in NZ to judge its success but how many are tuning in and watching wherever in the world on whatever platforms and the deals that can generate, show some ❤️Mate we been showing❤️with players heading up there since forever ( very well paid players 😂)

Scott Robertson explains Ethan Blackadder's All Blacks omission

Unfortunately for Blackadder, he doesn’t have the amount of test caps the undroppable ‘leadership group’ players have.

They can show no form at all for years, and yet look at the squad every season, and there they are. As per their NZR contract it seems.

Yeah, the French trawl SH rugby to poach younger and younger talent (they seem to particularly love Australia), routinely grab every off-contract SH player in the lead up to world cups and yet they always send to a B-C team for all their SH tours.

Frankly, all the Rugby Championship nations should thumb their nose at the French and take on other nations tours instead, and if they want to play them in France, then the SH nations should field C-teams as well. Show them an equal amount of disrespect.

Fabien Galthie announces France squad to take on the All Blacks

It’s understandable that NZ and other countries relying on their national team for revenue push for highlighting test matches as the biggest thing.

The problem is that it seems like France is being held responsible for other nations’ business model.

The business model hasn’t really changed since 2018, when France last toured NZ. They came as always with a B team, with a rather weak team by international standards back then, as it was the case with France during the 2010s.

Yet still almost all tickets got sold (50000 at Eden Park, 34000 in Wellington and 27000 in Dunedin). The interest was there.

So what has changed between that 2018 tour and the upcoming one?

In my opinion, it seems like the French business model has flourished, with the JIFF policy strenghtening the positions of French talents and less foreign players, the financial health of French clubs dominating the NH, the revigorated national team with what could have been 4 6Nations titles (the 2020 and 2021 were super close) and the emergence of top players in every positions, with arguably the best current rugby player in the world.

On the other hand, Covid has dismantled the financial basis of many federations, the departure of SA franchises from Super Rugby has weakened the competition, NZ are not the reference anymore, SA is dominating the test match competition, with Ireland and France pushing hard, although the Irish seem at a crossroads.

But again, why would it be France’s fault that NZ problems exist?

Is the French team responsible for structural problems in NZ’s rugby?

Nope. But it’s probably easier to blame the French to not give it all in terms of marketing with superstars coming, live on past glory, to cling on the view that until Dupont doesn’t tour SH, he cannot be seen as the best in the world.

Sorry, but most of French fans don’t really know NZ players.

They come in to see the French team against the All Blacks in the Autumn Tests.

And I don’t think anyone in NZ came to see Doumayrou, Parra, Belleau, Teddy Thomas or even Serin or Fickou in 2018. They came for the mighty All Blacks, the Barrett brothers, Savea, Whitelock, Aaron Smith…

That list is to long to list they also have parents born in islands or were born there themselves but one things for sure the vast majority have learned their trade thru the junior clubs schools pathways professional sides down under as there is not much resources in the islands or much work …so point of your question is ?
