Considering Englands Complete dominance at this age group i find it hard to believe that you truly think that Yarde and Ford would make the cut Doh

England do dominate at this level so would take many slots (the mystery is how they fail to progress them to senior players). Open side flanker for Wales caught my eye in the game against Scotland - looked v useful. Plus if we are allowing George North, can we have Stuart Hogg too?

Who exactly has failed to progress. The only failure I can think about is Hugo Ellis who failed to progress at Wasps after captaining England U20.

Hammer I think he means that England are consistently the best 6N team at u20 and first or second in the world (NZ the only other challenger) at this age group, but then do not go on to dominate the world at senior level like new Zealand do (apart from in 2003)

Absolutely, the myth that won't die. Even the 2008 side, which did reach the JWC final, was nothing like as good as the 2009, 2011 and 2012 sides. Many of this year's u20 side are regularly involved with their clubs already - that wasn't the case for previous sides.

Does Manu Tuilagi technically still qualify for the U-20's? Also, not sure how the IRB Young Player of the Year doesn't make that team

Thunor, I meant what Griff clarified (thanks, Griff) - is it really only the last 4 years? I seem to recall that you've been dominant at U20 for decades? Perhaps my memory is playing me tricks? (and I'm including U21 & U19 pre-2008 in that - 3rd/4th playoffs in those tournaments in 04/05/06 and competing with the SH?)

I'm not sure what the position is in the other countries but Wales have left out 9 or 10 players who are getting regular regional action. The plan is to increase the depth of the squad and bring them back for the U20 World Cup. I don't think any of the other 6 nations sides can cope with the power of England at this level. The reason why it hasn't pushed through to the senior side in my opinion is that they are so much more powerful at U20 level they can bully sides but when it comes to the senior game it's a lot more difficult to do that.

George Ford was voted young player of the year and is still only 18, therefor was playing at a year or 2 younger than most at this level.
He must surely take the no 10 spot?

look at the reports at the last JWC & you would probably include many more English if being fair minded..

Since U20 started we've lost 2 games in the U20 6 nations (out of 20) and got to 3(?) JWC finals (losing them all to the BB). In the four years before that we had 13 wins out of 20 for the U21 6 nations. Not the weakest but certainly not dominant (about the same record as the full international side in the last 4 years [12 wins out of 20])

No. I just googled U21 and U20 6 nations and looked at past tables.

U21 England came, 1st, 4th, 1st (GS) - I think this was [Croft, Haskell, etc], 3rd (I think)
U20 England 1st (GS), 1st, 2nd, 1st (GS)

From what I have seen he could, I say could, be the best Irish scrum half since before you were born... Very Happy

Like all youngsters though we will have to see how he develops. Some kick on some don't

Interesting. So he is one of those players that immediately catch your eye? I look forward to seeing more of him! Also hope Hendy keeps on putting in big performances, and gets a full contract for Ulster.

I doubt that.Ben Spencer's the best. Ben Spencer has already played for the England Saxons. Scored a try against the Wolfhounds too.

He's played in the HC for the English champs this season doing the double over the O's,scoring a try against Biarritz (outplaying Yachvilli too), plus beating Treviso twice.

Not having seen him we can only ask what's McGrath's record in the Heineken cup?

That said, it's about time Ireland got a decent scrum half.

Well I think it's silly to say "anyone who has seen McGrath knows he's the best 9 in his age group by a country mile".

Certainly when in this age group there is Ben Spencer who has not looked out of place in the Heineken Cup (a competition a level or two above U20s).

Maybe this McGrath is the coming messiah for Irish scrum halves. Maybe he blows opposition away with grace and power but until he plays at the same level as as one of his rivals, no one can claim he is country mile's ahead of all 9s in his age group.

For all we know (which is nothing) he might look good at a lower level.

Your argument is all opinion.
The facts say Spencer is better because hes gone from playing with a division 1 side (Cambridge) to premiership and now England Saxons.

We'll se if this McGrath guy lives up to his hype in the next few years.

It's an idle boast with nothing to back it up. He has done nothing of note to say he's the best 9 by a country mile in his age group out of all 9s in the world. If he had some of us might have heard of him.

You can make wild claims but till he faces a decent HC opponent he is unproven in my eyes.

Thank you go wales. clap

Maybe McGrath is better but do you expect me to say:"yes you are absolutely right, your word is of course gospel".

There are a few players who are the best in their position by a country mile at U19/U20, who then come to not much. Most of them are English.

Speaking of which, Cipriani played really well this weekend in a Rebels warm-up match.

To be clear I was only considering players playing for the U20 teams not others. As such Spencer was not in my consideration.

The top posts don't make entirely clear which it is.

Having said that English players tend to make the breakthrough earlier than Irish players. Whilst this clearly gives them a head start in terms of experience it does not, in the long term, make them better players.

The top posts don't make entirely clear which it is.

Having said that English players tend to make the breakthrough earlier than Irish players. Whilst this clearly gives them a head start in terms of experience it does not, in the long term, make them better players.

Oh ok I apologise.

The way I saw it, this includes those players who are U20 so potentially you could have tom prydie and george north on the wings.

True alex germany. The English players seem to be imperious at U20s but find the step up harder. They normally sparkle at the beginning but fade into mediocrity. E.g. Youngs,Care,Cipriani, Tait - all bright starts and prospects but all have floundered.

Even the likes of Cato,Mercey and Gray who you would think would push on haven't.

The likes of JSD,Morgan,Abendanon never seem to have got those opportunities at international level.

E.g. the Welsh seem to love throwing youngsters into the international cauldron at any opportunity. Like North,Halfpenny,Faletau,Prydie etc.

I've heard so much hype about Luke McGrath. He must at least have obvious potential to be a special player.

He's captained the Ireland under 18's and the Leinster under 18's and under 20's. So he must have good leadership abilities. He scores tries. He kicks goals too. It would seem he has it all. He's in the Leinster academy now.

It's impossible to say for sure if he'll make it as a pro for now. But if he lives up to the considerable hype I've heard he'll be a great player in the future.

Sometimes you watch a kid and you immediately sit up and take a second look - he is one of those.

There's better youngsters playing in England than Ben Spencer tbh never mind the rest of the BI&I. Spencer looks ok playing behind a dominant pack and box kicking to his hearts content but offers nothing around the fringes.
