Defending champions, the Bleuets got off to a good start in the Under-20 World Championship last Saturday in Cape Town, South Africa. The teammates of Hugo Reus, the striker and La Rochelle player, comfortably beat Spain (49-12) for their first match in the competition. Barnabé Massa, the former Grenoble player and future Clermontois, particularly distinguished himself by scoring a double.
But this Thursday, the Bleuets will play an almost final before the hour. The men of Sébastien Calvet (the team manager) will challenge the New Zealand “Baby Blacks”. The latter are announced as the main competitors for the world crown. The New Zealanders remain on a narrow success against Wales on the first day (34-41).
