Finalists against England last year after three consecutive titles, the Bleuets, impressive in the group stages with three bonus point victories against Spain (49-11), Wales (35-21) and especially Argentina (52-26), face the Baby Blacks, winners of Italy (14-5), Georgia (38-19) and Ireland (69-22), for a place in the final of the U20 Rugby World Cup.

After winning the U20 Six Nations Championship this year, their first since 2018, Cédric Laborde's players have stepped up their game in the competition.

Opposite them, the New Zealanders, who have not played in a final since their 2017 title, won the Rugby Championship this year, against the other southern hemisphere nations, notably dominating South Africa (opposing Argentina in the other semi-final). While struggling against Italy, the Pacific players also improved over the matches.

The semi-final between France and New Zealand will be broadcast live on L'Équipe this Monday, July 14, at 6 p.m.
