Postponed due to a pandemic, the Six Nations Under-20 Tournament will be played from June 19 to July 13 in Wales. The 15 meetings will take place at Arms Park in Cardiff "in order to reduce the risks associated with travel as well as to ensure longer rest periods and structured training," the statement said. Each team will be made up of 26 players “due to the condensed format of the competition”. During each of the five days, the three matches will be played consecutively. On June 19, the Tournament will start with Scotland-Ireland, followed by England-France and then Wales-Italy. The 2021 edition will end on July 13 with England-Italy, Ireland-France and Scotland-Wales.“The Six Nations Under-20 Championship is an important step in the lives of many young players who will pursue careers in professional rugby and we would like to thank the federations for their hard work in making this championship possible and our broadcasters who will retransmit it ”, greeted the boss of the Six Nations, Benjamin Morel.
