A July 14 celebrated in South Africa. The Athlone Stadium in Cape Town witnessed a tricolor fireworks display on Friday July 14 for the final of the Under-20 Rugby World Cup. Opposed to Ireland, the XV of France easily won (50-14), thanks to a second period flown over (33-0), which completely erased the hooked character of the first act. Sébastien Calvet’s players, undefeated since the start of the competition, thus won a third consecutive world crown (after 2018 and 2019), a historic treble. Only their All Blacks counterparts have done better in history, with a quadruple between 2008 and 2012.
