It is finally time for the Six Nations Under-20s Championship to begin with a bumper triple-header on Saturday and if you’re wondering where you can watch it from around the world, you’ve come to the right place.
Cardiff Arms Park plays host to every fixture of this year’s Championship, with three back-to-back games set to get the action off to a flyer in Round 1.
A year after the 2020 competition was suspended due to the outbreak of Covid-19, some of Europe’s finest young rugby talent will be hoping to show what they can do on the international stage.
And with a global audience too, as rugby fans from outside of the Six Nations territories can watch every second of the action live.
Ireland are the defending Six Nations Under-20s champions from 2019 but Richie Murphy’s side will face plenty of stiff competition from the other five nations who are champing at the bit to stake their own claim to be the best.
As anticipation builds ahead of kick-off, here’s how you can keep up with all the action from home, if you’re based further afield – and a reminder that we covered how to watch if you’re based in the UK or Ireland here.
Saturday June 19 – Cardiff Arms Park
Scotland v Ireland, 2pm BST – Live on YouTube, Facebook Live and via the official Six Nations website
The Irish face Scotland in the curtain raiser with the Scots potentially naming a half-back combination of fly-half Christian Townsend, son of Gregor, and scrum-half Murray Redpath, son of Bryan and brother of Cameron, in their ranks.
Fans based outside of the six competing countries can catch the game via the Six Nations website or through Facebook and YouTube.
Saturday June 19 – Cardiff Arms Park

The French are also blessed with the talent of players such as World Under-20s champions Matthias Haddad and Paul Mallez.
