England vs Ireland U-20 Predictions


This is basically a final to decide who will win the 2024 U20 Six Nations. Ireland are just a point behind England coming into this fixture.

Surprisingly, Ireland, despite being the away side, are favourites but the handicap is a single point. I am leaning towards the hosts taking the game by a very narrow margin.

  • England have won their last 3 matches.
  • England have picked up a bonus point in their last 3 matches.
  • Ireland have won their last 3 matches.
  • Ireland have picked up a bonus point in 2 of their last 3 matches.

Head to Head


Ireland U20 beat England 36-24 at home last season. They did that on their way to claiming the title, but this season they are away from home.

England U-20 Form


England are top of the table after three rounds, just one point clear of Ireland. They have won all three matches with a bonus point which basically makes this the final.

England began their U20 Six Nations campaign with a convincing 36-11 win against Italy away from home. It was followed by a 28-7 victory on home soil against Wales.

In round three, England saw off a staunch Scottish outfit 30-17 away from home. While the English have been convincing, this will be a very tough test for them to pass.

England U-20 Injuries & Team News


England will pick what they believe is their strongest available lineup.

Ireland U-20 Form


Ireland are just a point off England at the top of the table and victory here should secure them the title, barring for a defeat next weekend coupled with an England win.

The Irish have won all three games but only picked up four-try bonus points in two of the games compared to England’s three. They won 37-31 on the opening weekend against France away before narrowly beating Italy 23-22 on home soil.

In their last game, Ireland ran rampant against Wales at home. They cruised to a 43-8 win without really getting out of third gear.

Ireland were superb against Wales last time out. I don’t expect too many changes to that side.

Verdict

This should be a tight battle between the best two sides in the competition. The winner is very likely to take the title with a game to spare. I am backign England to take the points.
