Simon Dalton presents his prediction bet for the U20 Rugby World Cup match.
The final of the World Rugby U20 Championship will be between England and France. France has won the last 3 world titles, while England's last championship was in 2016. Can the England team end France's winning streak?
England came out of an easy group with Argentina, Fiji, and South Africa. In the semi-final, they won a tough match against Ireland (31:20). Kerr was England's best player, scoring 21 points. The team is in great form for this final, so they shouldn't be underestimated. It's worth noting that the only head-to-head match this year ended with England winning 45:31. Today, they might surprise again.
France has been on top at the Under 20 league for several years. They easily got through the group stage: beating Spain (49:12) and Wales (29:11), but in a tight game lost to New Zealand (26:27). In the semi-final, France got revenge on New Zealand, winning 55:31. France is the favorite in the final, but it won't be easy to prove this, as England is a strong competitor right now.
England has won all 4 of their matches in this tournament and hasn't lost a game in over a year. In this final, they have a good chance of success.
