France U20s secure Six Nations, have another sent from pitch
By RugbyPass
One week after having two players handed red cards, the French U20 have had another player sent from the pitch.
French replacement forward Georges-Henri Colombe was given a yellow card for a tip-tackle on Callum Carson in similar fashion to the incident that saw Hassane Kolingar and Pierre-Henri Azagoh shown red last week.
France went on to beat Wales 24-3 and clinch the U20 Six Nations title with a bonus point victory. Their Women's U20 side clinched the Grand Slam earlier in the day.
Despite the success, the incidents against England and Wales may cast a shadow on France's tournament.

Think it was a great defensive performance by Northampton. They didn't have stage fright in the first half, the Nienaber defense smothered them. They limited Leinster to 15-3 in the first half. It could have been over by then. A great try from Leinster in the start of the second half looked to have sealed it. But Byrne missed another conversion. Northampton started trying little kicks behind the Leinster wingers. Leinster messed one and Smith brilliantly made the conversion. Leinster decided to tighten the game after Byrne missed a straight forward penalty. A few errors got NH into the 22 and they scored and converted with a few minutes left. Another brilliant steal from Lawes saw NH have a final attack which was turned over by Conan. A classic semi final. World record attendance of 82,300. Leinsters 3 week preparation warranted for this one.
