How to watch World Rugby U20s Championship games today: Kick-off times, TV channels and live stream info

The second round of the World Rugby Under-20s Championship kicks off on Thursday with a whole host of mammoth clashes being played out in South Africa.

Kicking off proceedings is Australia v Ireland in Pool B at 10am (UK kick-off time), with the teams sitting in first and second place respectively.

France and New Zealand clash at 12.30pm, with both sides having picked up a maximum of five points from their first games. In Pool A at 1pm, Wales face a Japan side who shipped more than 70 points to France. It is no surprise the French have started strong, though, having won the previous two tournaments in 2018 and 2019.

Here's everything you need to know about day two of the U20s Championship:

Are the World Rugby Under-20s Championship games on TV? What about live streaming?

S4C are broadcasting all of Wales' matches. Apart from this, none of the other games are on terrestrial TV in England, Scotland or Wales. You will also be able to live stream the Wales game via S4C Clic / BBC iPlayer.

Virgin Media do, however, have broadcasting rights for all of Ireland's matches. Virgin also have access to a total of 19 matches free-to-air after securing the rights to the championship.

You can watch all the games on the World Rugby website via their match centre, and on World Rugby's YouTube channel for free.
