U20 Six Nations - Round 3 Preview

After a weekend off, the Under-20s Six Nations is back with Round Three incoming.

Round Two saw Ireland storm to the top of the table as the only team to have won their opening two games.

Meanwhile Scotland are the only team without a win or a point on the board as they suffered back-to-back losses.

Here’s a reminder of the current state of play heading into Round Three:

Dylan Tierney-Martin made it three tries in two matches for Ireland as they beat Scotland 24-5 at Netherdale to become the only side with two wins in the Championship.

Their nine-point tally puts them four points ahead of second-placed reigning champions France, who suffered defeat at the hands of England.

The Red Roses ran in five tries to down their visitors in a hectic affair at Sandy Park that nearly saw Les Bleuets add a bonus point of their own, but ran out of time.

Level with France and England on five points are Wales and Italy with the former getting the better of their hosts in Round Two.

No. 8 Taine Basham ran in a hat-trick in that game as Wales put together a convincing 42-12 victory.

Scotland will have a tough task on their hands as they prepare to take on France in a bid save their Championship in Round Three.

Meanwhile it will be up to Italy to stop Ireland making it three from three at the Stadio Centro d’Italia and England will travel to Wales where the winners of that match is guaranteed to finish Round Three higher up in the overall standings.
