England U20s defeated for first time
An almost perfect weekend for French rugby finished with their U20 team defeating England for the first time, in front of a crowd of over 4,500.
England - including a several players who played for or against Letchworth in recent years - began well, scoring the first try and were only 19-17 behind at half time. However, three unanswered French tries in the second half allowed the home side extend their lead to 19 points before England scored their final try in the last few minutes of the game. The final score was 36-22. Full report from RFU.
This weekend France have therefore defeated England in the men's Six Nations, men's student, men's amateur, women's A, and women's U20 level, and only lost the women's Six Nations by a single point.
