Yes. Look at the rankings, not sure how that was decided.

A Blind monkey trowing shit at a passing train could provide more accurate rankings.
In no Universe would Wales rank above Ireland in U20. The Welsh were humiliated by everyone, including the Italians (who also are significantly better than that ranking). You could just use the senior team rankings, & have a far more accurate picture of whose who.

Ahh
Given how quickly they transition thru the grade, I suppose they have to do something, but they really should weight it heavily towards the most recent tournaments, so that it has some semblance of reality.

Corvid prevented the last two years. England and France plays here yearly. They will have a big advantage.

Scotland were demoted to the Trophy tournament in 2019.
We had a really good squad in 2020, about 12 of them have gone on to full time professional contracts. The second tier competition was supposed to happen in Spain and I was looking forward to a late summer holiday there.
Hey ho.

Don't be silly. That's how they come up with their new law variations.
