Never change a winning team. After a flawless run so far in the U20 World Cup, the French team will face Ireland in the final this Friday (7:00 p.m.) with the aim of achieving an impressive three-point pass. Unsurprisingly, coach Sébastien Calvet decided to maintain his confidence in the starting XV which largely dominated England (52-31) in the semi-finals. Only modification, the bench, the Lyon center Arthur Mathiron takes the place of Andy Timo, third line.
