There may not be too much to write home about scoreboard-wise for Wales in the U20 Six Nations this year, with three defeats arriving in four matches ahead of Sunday’s final game against Italy.
Ireland, England and France emphatically accounted for the Welsh youngsters, whose solitary success came against Scotland. But head coach Byron Hayward believes the results don’t tell a complete story.
The Welsh squad is young, with many players sampling this grade of rugby for the first time and including in Morgan Morse a 17-year-old who is still at school and in Ryan Woodman a back-five forward who has only just turned 18. Hayward feels those two and others in his group could go on to make names for themselves in the coming seasons.
