The 2025 Six Nations Under-18s Men’s Festival took place in Vichy, France, back in April with the stars of the future on display.
Eight teams including England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales competed with Georgia participating once again this year and Spain making their first appearance.
Each team played three 70-minute games with every player looking to start at least one game and rolling substitutions throughout to ensure the best development opportunities across the competition.
Wales and England made it three wins from three on the final day of the Festival.
England came from 22-5 down to beat Frnace 29-27 in a brilliant final match while Wales held off a spirited Italian fightback to win 41-39 and complete an unbeaten Festival.
One player who helped Wales get back in control of their Italian job was outside half, and one of our own here at Carmarthen Quins, Carwyn Leggatt-Jones.
As well as enjoying a stellar festival Jones has been named in the Men’s Team of the Tournament.
