France U20 team to take on England U20

In the front row, Zaccharie Affane has moved to the bench in favor of Maïno Pakihivatau. The overpowering Posolo Tuilagi, son of a certain Henry, will form an impressive second rower combination with Lenni Nouchi. At the half back, the return of Baptiste Jauneau pushes Léo Carboneau to the bench for the third change.

In the center of the French attack, Nicolas Depoortere, captain in the first two matches will find his friend Emilien Gailleton for an explosive center pair. The final changes occurs at wing with that of Louis Bielle-Biarrey replacing Paul Costes to earn a starting postion in the French team.

Sébastien CALVET (Manager France under 20)  : “A week of Crunch is always special, even more so when it comes to going home. This opposition should be of a very high level, which will allow us to evaluate our group and refine it for the World Cup. It's also a great challenge to win the tournament! The whole group, players as staff, is excited and mobilized for this. And that was also the leitmotif of the week to know how to prepare for this match as if it were a final!” .
