That is no where near the u 20 program. It is the junior elite pathway program.

I believe this is correct. A 1 PM kick-off.
I understand there might be some experimental combinations happening tomorrow.

Any other snouts at the game today. I noticed a lot of the boys remaining are last years schoolboys..It will be interesting to see how they develop. ..

We lost that match, the Welsh didn't win it. Complete mess around in the backline, with Adam Hastings starting for bath, Blair Kinghorn playing for Edinburgh and Hutchison having to switch to 10, but still played well enough.
I'll be hoping that they get the 2 of them and Ritchie back for Italy and really take them to pieces.

Relevant Game was on S4C, the Welsh language channel (welsh being Welsh can't simply say something like BBC Alba, they have to have their own name), so I turned on the VPN and watched on BBC iPlayer.
EDIT: Been unfair to the Welshys there. BBC Cymrru exists. It's only an iPlayer arrangement.
EDIT 2: France v Ireland was covered by RTE, the Irish Broadcaster. As was Wales v Ireland
RFU streamed Italy v England
might need a VPN for that too. If you look at some of my posts, there's the SRU stream of the Sco, v england from Round 1. I'm also yet to find a broadcast for Italy v France.

From RBS 6 Nations
France produced a strong second-half performance to deny Ireland and maintain their place at the top of the Under 20 Six Nations table.
Les Bleuets lead Wales on points difference after Jason Strange’s side also made it two wins from two thanks to Billy McBryde’s last-gasp penalty.
Meanwhile, England bounced back from their opening defeat by Scotland to move up to third place with hooker Jack Singleton scoring four tries in a 42-7 victory over Italy.
Ireland looked on course to end a four-game losing run in the U20 Six Nations and record a rare win on French soil when they led France 13-10 with half-time approaching after Peter Claffey and James Ryan had scored from catch-and-drive lineout moves.
But Gabriel Ngandebe’s try and Anthony Belleau’s conversion, his second of the night following an earlier penalty try, put France 17-13 in front at the break.
Having seized the initiative, France came out firing after the break with 17 unanswered points just reward for their dominance.
Belleau kicked his second penalty after 42 minutes to edge France further in front before two tries from Florian Verhaegue, which Belleau converted, put the result beyond any doubt.
Late drama
At Parc Eirias in Colwyn Bay, Wales came back from 15-5 down at half-time to win 18-15 in the most dramatic of circumstances.
Scotland were good value for their 10-point lead in the first half, flanker Matt Smith and prop Murray McCallum scoring for the second game running either side of a try for the home side’s Shaun Evans. Rory Hutchinson weighed in with a penalty and a conversion.
Within three minutes of the restart Wales got back into the game. A move from right to left was finished off by captain Tom Phillips, but again fly-half Daniel Jones failed to notch the extras.
And the scores were level after 62 minutes when winger Keelan Giles gathered the ball following a sweeping move, flew down the left wing and went over in the corner.
For the third time on the night Jones' kick was off target but, thankfully for Wales, replacement back McBryde had no such problems on assuming the kicking duties.
McBryde, the son of the senior team’s forwards coach Robin, entered the fray on 79 minutes and his first action was a successful penalty that sparked big celebrations at Parc Eirias.
Four-midable!
England hooker Singleton marked his first U20 start in the No.2 jersey, in place of injured captain Jack Walker, with two tries in each half against Italy.
Singleton's four tries capped off a wonderful display by the Worcester Warriors player against a side that England will face again in the World Rugby U20 Championship in Manchester in June.
"I'm chuffed but it was more important to get the win," said Singleton. "I didn't have to do too much for most of my tries, the forwards did all the work and the backs were bossing us around so it was pretty easy in the end. They did all the hard graft and I got to go over in the corner.
"It was a great feeling at the end. We had a pretty tough week after that Scotland game and wanted to put a lot of stuff right and I think we went out there and did that."
Max Malins, George Perkins and replacement Curtis Langdon also crossed the whitewash on a night when England’s pack were well on top. Gabriele Venditti pulled a try back for Italy late on.
When the Six Nations action resumes on 26 February, England will take on Ireland in Newcastle and Italy face another of their World Rugby U20 Championship opponents Scotland in Padova. A day later, the top two in the standings will meet when Wales host France at Parc Eirias.

Somebody at the ground on Saturday kept asking me who that NSW U20s player was and who that one. He was jotting down a few numbers.
There was no programme and I had to concentrate on the game so I told him that I would put the player numbers I knew in the forum for him if he cared to visit us. He said OK; but he may have been a forum member anyway; he didn't say.
But I forgot to do it.
Here is my list in case he checks in and it may be of interest to others also. I don't think it will be too far off the mark.
Sometimes there were jerseys with the same number.
I think that the starting players were:
1. V. Fifita
2. D. Moore
3. H. Johnson-Holmes
4. R. McCauley
5. T. Piroddi
6. M. Girdler
7. J. Hayson

20. N. de Crespeny
20. W. McDonnell
21. C. Smith
21. J. Pelowski ??
22. S. Loga-Tarogi
23. T. Pye
23 + ???
Players in civvies I noticed watching - likely there were others
T. Horton (2-week concussion rest)
S. Kennewell
T. Molloy (probably still injured)
Fellows doing rehab work
J . Lotoaniu
H. Goddard
ACL/MCL rupture
J. McGregor

Yeah it's a great pity for Jack Mac and for the Tahs U20s I reckon.
Their no. 1 flyhalf, Jack Clancy, was already sidelined by a similar injury; so NSW had only Connor O'Shea as a specialist playing there on Saturday - with schoolie Dan England, who played the position a bit for Scots early in the 2015 season, getting time in the second half.
I'm not sure what happened to Jack Maddocks who was at training last I was there.
We have to "watch this space".
PS - somebody advised after the last blog I did that Sydney Uni are trialling in Wagga on Saturday yet Uni is supposed to be playing the NSW U20s in a trial on Friday afternoon.
Does anybody have any information on this - or is it as simple as Grade going to Wagga and Colts playing the U20s??

It seems 2016 NSW U20 Flyhalfs called Jack may be cursed. Has Jack Maddocks similarly succumbed to that curse, or he is doing his best not to tempt fate with the Jinx Fairies by staying well clear of that position.
Edit:
Re Syd Uni in Wagga:
Nothing on their web site but this has been posted on the Southern Inland Thread. Possibly 1.5 - 2 Uni Teams going to Wagga to play 6 x 20 minute quarters (with lots of substitutions most likely). Probs a mix of 2015 Colts and 2016 Grade players.
