Italy U-20 Form

Italy U20 have been very impressive over the last few years with continued improvement. That is showing in their senior team performances as well.

Last week, the Italians began their U20 Six Nations campaign with another commanding performance. They went to Scotland and won 22-10 against the odds.

It was a display of a team that is no longer just capable of causing upsets but rather of a team that can challenge some top sides at age group level.

There are likely to be some rotational changes to the Italian side as they attempt to have a look at the entire squad.

Wales U-20 Form

Rugby is in a dark place in Wales at the moment. They are struggling at every level with the senior team also unable to buy a win at the moment.

In round one of the 2025 U20 Six Nations, Wales were well beaten 63-19 in France. They never really showed any signs of competing against a clearly superior French side.
