Wales Secures U20 Six Nations Third Place, Denies England Grand Slam

In the Under-20 Six Nations Championship, Ireland finished last for only the second time, losing 15-12 to Italy despite the Italians playing with 14 men for a significant part of the match. Ireland struggled with turnovers and errors, while Italy scored two tries during their disadvantage and held off Ireland's second-half comeback efforts. Meanwhile, Wales pulled off a stunning victory over England, winning 20-13 and denying England a Grand Slam, while also securing third place in the tournament for the first time since 2017. The match saw Wales' defense hold strong, preventing England from scoring in the second half despite their dominant start. France clinched the championship title for the first time since 2018 after their victory over Scotland, benefitting from England's loss. This year's tournament concluded with France at the top, followed by England and Wales, while Ireland finished bottom after a disappointing campaign.
