Welcome to the opening round of the U20 Championship. There are 3 games on simultaneously which changes things up a little from the last few years. Scotland take on Italy in a game that will be a grudge match for Scotland after they took a big loss to Italy in the 6 Nations and had a poor tournament finishing bottom of the table. Italy, however, finished 3rd this year in the 6 Nations a point above Wales.
