Please note that young academy referees from all over France will referee the matches.

Michel Dubreuil, president of the Amicale, explains: “For us, it's an exceptional weekend. We've been doing this since 2007, but this year, we're going from 150 to 280 young people since, firstly, we're hosting a women's tournament; but we're also organizing a parallel agricultural high school trophy with four teams from Brioude (Haute-Loire) et de Marmilhat (Puy-de-Dôme)also with teams of young girls. We will present them with the 'Generation Terre de XV' trophies with our partners, the Ministry of Agriculture, the FFR and Interbev. To supervise all this, there will be 70 of us friendly members.”

For several years, and it is its pride, the Association has wanted to reward the winners by taking them with it to attend a Tournament match. The winning league of Tournament A will therefore go to Dublin on March 8 to see Ireland-France. The winning league of Tournament B and the Women will be entitled to France-Wales on January 31. But none of the participants will leave an international match “virgin”, since the 280 participants will attend France-Japan before seeing the president of the FFR, Florian Grill, in person handing over the cups to Rueil-Malmaison.
