Five feature as Wales U20s lose

11/03/2022

Wales Under-20s slipped to a 47-15 defeat to a powerful France under 20s side in Colwyn Bay – in a game that featured five young Dragons.

Prop Adam Williams and lock Ryan Woodman started in the pack and scrum half Morgan Lloyd played at nine. Hooker Connor Chapman and back row Ben Moa both featured from the bench.

Romain Fonnicola and Connor Sa put France in control but a penalty try and a Beni Williams score saw Wales fight back to within two points.

But Sa's second and further tries from Enzo Reybier, Simon Tarel and Max Auriac saw France seal a crucial bonus point win ahead of their final game against Ireland.

Byron Hayward's Welsh youngsters are fourth in the Championship with Italy their final opponents a week on Sunday.
