Killian and Eli are officially World U20 Champions! After a thrilling game, the Bleuets won 24-23 against the "Junior Wallabies".
After a complicated match start with a test conceded after less than a minute of play. Les Bleuets reacted quickly thanks to a balloon scraped off the ground by Killian Geraci and taken to the end zone by Théo Lachaud (5-7, 6'). An Australian highlight reversed the trend and the young Wallabies passed in front at 23' 13-10. Pitted in the spotlight, the Bleuets reacted via a maul after a penal touch and went back in front before half-time, 13-18.
Then followed a stifling 2nd half for the Blueberries with 90% ball possession for the Australians and an additional try for the Wallabies 20-18 at the 47'. The difference will be made at the foot, Louis Carbonel, in success and more pragmatic than his counterpart allows the French to pass in front of the score. Advance kept until the final whistle blows.
Already crowned champions in Béziers last year, the Bleuets become the third team to retain their world crown, after New Zealand (2008-2011) and England (2013 and 2014).
