French fan here: this is awesome. Let’s hope this is the rebirth of England as a dominating rugby team in Wiorld Rugby. France and England need to put an end to SA and NZ winning all the World Cups…
Excellent video thanks it's great someone is covering the U20s
Not sure many people are realising that the last couple of years of our U20s are a proper golden generation. Wouldn't be suprised at all to see Tuipolotu, Sela, Kpoku, Sodeke, Pollock, James, Friday, McPartland, Coen, Bracken sniffing around the senior team over the next couple of years. Not to mention guys who are now 21 like AOF, Fasogbon, Waghorn Kerr, Carnduff etc Really exciting group coming through even if the mens side has been nothing to shout about for w while.
@@joethompson2204 watch semi final u20s Ireland v England imagine if we had those two props for England
fasogbon was mentioned in the injury list when the england squad was announced so theres a high chance he would have been in it if he was fit
Thanks for doing this 👏🏾👏🏾
I’m happy to see our young lads laying down the law I just hope for the future because we need young blood to bring more life into the main team and we gotta stop relying on the veterans and allow the young fit lads run and make those plays
The average age of our starting 23 is 26. How much younger and inexperienced do you want?
Well done england, what do you have to do to get these guys to senior rank. New coaching needed in england.
Tbf we are using the young fit lads atm. We also need experience eg itoje and george, but I think players such as slade should be removed from the team
Really strong performance by England although consistent inaccuracies in the red zone prevented a bonus point win. They should be too good for the remaining teams so time to move Pollock to the A's and Senior squads.
Pollock is so good, he makes such an impact
Great to bump into you last night, really enjoyed the game. Good of Mapletoft to give you so much of his time in a great interview too - nice work!
England for the slam
Ed
Cheers Ed. Great to meet you and you son too 👍 let's see if England seniors can match the U20s today
@ I’m not feeling as positive about that result!
Lucas Friday is insanely good and composed. Only 18 too - future England player?
I'd put money on it
Went to my school, class player
Was there last night, luv going to watch the boys each year, brilliant win!! Some great player coming though proud of the boys..
Red rose playing well let's hope it was an omen
congrats England you were the better team
He's wasn't a bad player when he played for Gloucester and done really well coaching England under 20 🏉🏴🌹👍😁
He should become england coach after the six nations if we loose to france
Thanks for a great video yes they could have scored more but we don't how the wet affects the handling but congratulations on the win
Hey do you put them down ? A win is a win .. only watched the highlights but tho the played really good
England where immense especially in the conditions B.Sela - H.Pollock Where fantastic along with K.James - L.Friday and J.Bracken along with others The future for England is looking very good Along as the Premiership clubs continue to develop our very good upcoming talent [ something they have constantly failed to do in the past ] By giving them actual gametime in the premiership and even the European Chmpionship matches
The most prommsing players we have are front rowers and back rowers. Last years world cup u20s showed that
I know they don’t get a load of time together and the weather the last couple of weeks has been awful… but so many mistakes, difficult to watch! Loads of talent on display, hoping they can show what they can do the rest of the season
England were comfortable in this game. Surprised just how the English forwards were that much better than the French. And this is without Opoku-Fordjure and Fasogbon. Bodes well for the future.
should the U20s just replace current eng team?
Sorry but it should be Jerusalem. That other dirge is the UK’s national anthem.
For me god save queen/kind is so uninspiring and dull! A national anthem should be about the country! It’s the worst by far! I’m up for many other countries anthems before
England’s!! Also sweet chariots does nothing for me.
The Grandslam should be pretty much a certainty now. I thought Sodeke's defence, especially in the first half, was monstrous, he was causing mayhem.
Yep, in the absence of Kpoku, Sodeke is the enforcer. He's put on a lot of size since last year. He will be massive in a couple of years. They couldn't deal with Sela in the scrum as well, with him and Opoko fordjour, England should have world class tightheads
It's an outstanding group of young forwards, and surely the full side will be significantly improved over the next 2 years as these guys are fed in. I think this lot will probably win this year's U20 WC too, I can't see any other side living with the power they bring, it's a level above the rest.@rugbyanalyst
@@rugbyanalyst and fabagson
@@rugbyanalyst fordjour will probably play loosehead because fasogbon can only play tighthead
La fédération nationale française de rugby doit blacklister cet arbitre ; intransigeant avec les bleus, aveugle avec les anglais qui ont provoqué tout le match et triché sur tous les regroupements... un scandale ! ... dommage pour les anglais car ils n'avaient peut être pas besoin de l'arbitre pour gagner dignement.
Certainly one of the cards was questionable
When can we start talking about this bloke as Borthwick’s replacement? Post World Cup?
He might be having too much fun winning U20 Six Nations and World Cups! but it's not the craziest idea. The RFU went for Stuart Lancaster who came from a similar career path and Mapletoft has a better track record and more experience. A possible scenario is he does it as a short term deal or interim.
@ So if we lose to Wales or Italy then he’ll probably be interim until 2027?
Not true anymore. Look at Pollock, Fasogbon and Fordjour
So most of these great U20’s players after their time in the U20’s will go back to their clubs and either sit on the bench or in the 2nd team because there’s far too many foreign players playing in the premiership denying them opportunities to develop further. And I include Scottish, Welsh and Irish player as foreign because they are not English qualified or they chose not to be English qualified. That’s what’s wrong with English Rugby.
Carnduff was captain for Leicester in their Premiership Cup match !
Ref was biased french can't even make anything. He's from wales I understand now
That hideous British Anthem spoilt a great English occasion AGAIN!
versus a 3 yellow cards team, not a good game
good welsh ref lol
Yeah man I sense he's not neutral at all.
@@MrBreakingBud any welsh person will say they hate england more than france, his mediocre ability has nothing to do with being welsh
