Six Nations U20: After their rout against Scotland, the Bleuets are on the way to the Grand Slam (video)

The French U20 rugby team secured their fourth consecutive victory by defeating Scotland 26-45, moving closer to the Grand Slam in the Six Nations tournament.

In a remarkable performance, the French U20 rugby team triumphed against Scotland with a score of 26-45, marking their fourth consecutive win in the 2026 edition of the Six Nations U20 tournament. This victory positions the Bleuets as potential champions, as they await the outcome of the upcoming match between Ireland and Wales, which could determine their title claim as early as Saturday night. The French team, managed by CΓ©dric Laborde, displayed a commanding presence on the field, scoring five tries in the first half alone, showcasing their offensive capabilities. The match saw the French side take an early lead with notable tries from players including Leveque, Senga, Veschambre, Drault, and Ibsaiene before halftime. Despite Scotland's efforts to respond, they struggled to contain the relentless pace and strategy of the French team. This game not only demonstrates the skill and determination of the young French players but also their potential to achieve a Grand Slam if they continue their winning streak and defeat England in their next fixture. As the tournament progresses, eyes will be on the Irish-Welsh match, which could confirm the title for France. Should the Bleuets secure their championship title this year, it would further elevate their status in youth rugby and expand their developing reputation on the international stage, potentially impacting future player selections and investments in the sport within France.
