The French under-20 rugby team faced a disappointing defeat in the World Cup final against England, losing 13-21 in Cape Town. Despite a strong journey throughout the tournament, the Bleuets struggled against the powerful English scrum and were hampered by undisciplined play. Captain Hugo Reus acknowledged the team's shortcomings after the match, emphasizing the need for improvement.
The match showcased the dominance of the English scrum, which allowed them to score crucial tries and maintain pressure on the French team. Notably, the absence of key players for France compounded their challenges, leading to a lack of depth and control in their game. Despite the loss, the future looks bright for many of the young talents who are expected to make their mark in professional rugby.
