2023 World Rugby U20 Championship

[MiketheSnow]

England blew that

And why the fuck would you only pass to Cleaves once in the second half?

Brainless

[Smuts]

Some wonderful players in that England team but not enough donkeys except in their generals.

France are in after a kick receive fumble from Ireland

Ireland 14 - 17 France

[MiketheSnow]

France on top at the maul

Irish sent to the bin

[MiketheSnow]

That must be obstruction

[MiketheSnow]

Clever, but too clever

No try

Waste from France

[MiketheSnow]

Great first half

France should have had breathing distance

Ireland 14 - 17 France
Halftime

[MiketheSnow]

France have turned the game on its head with two quick tries at the start of the second half with the Irish still down to 14

[MiketheSnow]

Can't see Ireland coming back from this

French 9 MOTM already

Player of the Tournament for me

[MiketheSnow]

That's it

France like the tide

You can't stop it

But should have been disallowed for leading forearm into contact by the try scorer
