France, England and Wales pick up wins in opening round of European U19s Championships

England, France and Wales made impressive starts to the U19s European Championship in the first round of matches held at the CREPS Font Romeu high performance facility in the French Pyrenees yesterday (Sunday).

Full back Eligh Wilkinson scored a first half hat trick and landed seven goals as holders England defeated Ukraine 70-8, Rio Walker and Zac Bennett each with two of their total of 14 tries. England head coach, Gary Hewer, commented:

“The boys have responded really well to the hot conditions and given a thorough performance against a very resilient Ukraine side who never stopped for the full 80 minutes.

“From a coaching point of view, it’s disappointing to concede a try but the effort and determination that the Ukrainians put in, and with the friendship and bonds we’ve created over the last four or five years, they deserved it.”

Hewer added: “We’ll utilise the whole squad over our group games but some of them put their hands up today showing what they can offer.”

Hooker Cruz Death claimed Ukraine’s late try, head coach Artur Martyrisian, noted: “It was a good experience for our team. We have not had a lot of time to train together and set aside our domestic championship because so many players are in the army.

“Great thanks to our heritage players because, without them, we might not have been able to participate.”

Leny Stacul was the French star with four tries as they beat Scotland 96-6. The host nation crossed 16 times in all, back rower Adrian De La Rose with a try treble, Thibault Guttierez kicking a perfect 15 conversions.

Scotland were reduced to 12 men in the 36th minute following a sending off.

In the third match, Wales held on to deny Serbia 52-30, Regan Preece with three tries and Kevan Phillips claiming 24 points from two tries and eight out of nine goals.

Wales head coach, Gary Dunn said of the victory: “I was pleased with the result more than the performance, there are loads of aspects to improve on.

“There were some good individual tries, and I can’t fault any of the effort, but we need to analyse this before we face England on Wednesday, Serbia were a little unknown to us.”

Serbia had three players sinbinned, scrum half Tyson Walker with two of their tries and a total of 18 points.

“I’m proud of the boys, both domestic and heritage players,” noted head coach Vladislav Dedic.

“We had to rally dig deep against a good side. The sinbins harmed us but when it was 13 on 13, we were the better side. We need to work on our discipline.”

European rugby league u19s championship format and fixtures announced

European Rugby League has confirmed the format and fixtures for the biennial U19s European Championship which will take place at the CREPS Font Romeu high performance facility in the Pyrenees, France in July.

A record ten nations will participate, split into two competitions.

The Championship will be contested by England, France, Scotland, Serbia, Ukraine and Wales – the five participants from the 2024 event in Belgrade and Wales who were the next best performing side in the 2022 event having missed the most recent tournament.

Canada together with Greece, Ireland, and Norway, who are all either new or returning after an absence from the tournament, will do battle for the European Shield, with the winner guaranteed promotion to the 2028 event.

Subject to the number of nations applying for that, there may be relegation from this season’s Championship.

“Having ten nations competing has been challenging in terms of formatting and logistics, but it has been a great problem to have, and I’m delighted to see the tournament continuing to grow,” commented ERL chair Dean Andrew.

In the Championship, the nations have been drawn into two groups of three based on results from the previous tournament.

England, as defending champions

England, as defending champions, are the first seed and are joined by Scotland (3) and Serbia (5) in Pool A. Hosts France are in Pool B as the second seed, with Ukraine (4) and Wales (6).

Each will play the three nations in the opposite group, with results merged into one league table and the first placed team awarded the Championship title. The Shield will see each nation play the other once, and the side which leads the league table on conclusion will take the trophy.

The matches will be played over three days, five per day, at the state-of-the-art sporting facility which will also see the squads stay on site.

The hosts open their campaign on Sunday 12 July against Scotland in a repeat of 2024’s feisty semi-final, whilst England face Ukraine in another semi-final repeat and Wales take on Serbia.

Round two

Round two on Wednesday 15 July sees England taking on Wales, Scotland face Ukraine and France do battle with Serbia.

The final round on Saturday 18 July, will see Serbia take on Ukraine and Scotland will be seeking to overturn Wales after losing recent clashes.

The final match will see France take on England in what could be a tournament decider, the previous three encounters between them having a margin of less than seven points.

In Pool B, on day one, Greece will make their debut against Ireland, while Norway come up against Canada, before Greece meet Canada in round two as Norway face Ireland. The final day will see Norway and Greece open the proceedings before Canada and Ireland do battle.

Andrew added: “Several of the nations have told me how important the tournament has been to both inspiring its youth players to work hard and achieve selection, but also to their player pathways into their senior teams.

“Thanks to early organisation by the French Rugby League Federation, we’ve been able to work further in advance to give them all greater preparation time than they have experienced in previous years and I’m very much looking forward to seeing the fruits of that on the field.”

European rugby league u19s championship expands to 10 nations

The fourth European Rugby League U19s Championship will expand to a record ten nations when it takes place at the Centre de Ressources, d’Expertise et de Performance Sportive (CREPS), Font Romeu in the Catalonian Pyrenees between 10 and 19 July 2026.

Norway and Greece will make their tournament debuts, while Wales and Ireland return to the Championship after last competing in 2022 in Italy. Then, Wales achieved a bronze medal in the Championship and Ireland were crowned Shield champions.

Rugby League Norge president, Anne Haigh, commented: “We have been developing our youth programme for some time and played several games at both U16s and U19s already. It is time that we tested ourselves in a competitive environment and give our youth players the opportunity to experience such big a tournament. We’re very much looking forward to travelling to France and being part of the event.”

“Its great news for the Greek Rugby League Federation that we are able to move forward and compete in the European Rugby League U19s Championship in 2026,” said GRLF official,

Terry Liberopoulos. “We are aiming to further progress and become full members of International Rugby League, and a key part depends on the growth of our youth programme. Having the opportunity to represent their country will be a massive motivator for the young people playing rugby league in Greece.”

The quartet join reigning champions England, hosts France, Scotland, Serbia, Ukraine and USA, the young Hawks continuing their participation from the 2024 tournament in Belgrade when they made their bow, the Americas coming under ERL jurisdiction.

France won the 2018 tournament with a narrow 26-24 victory over England in the final but were beaten 14-12 in 2022’s decider by England, the English going on to become back-to-back champions in 2024 after coming from behind against France to triumph 15-8.

“I’m very pleased that we have been able to grow the competition to ten nations,” said ERL chair Dean Andrew.

“The appetite for youth rugby league in Europe is growing and each of the competing nations is built on the back of active youth programmes in the respective countries showing that they are on solid foundations and thinking about their future supply of players.

The U19s Championship is always an exciting event and adding a further dimension to it with new competitors will generate even more interest.”

The format and fixtures for the European Rugby League U19s Championships will be confirmed in early 2026.

In the two ranking games to complete the European U19s Championship in Belgrade, unlimited substitutions ensured that all squad members were given a run and to help counter the week’s considerable heat.

A hat trick try from USA centre Siaosi Koloamatangi two minutes from time ensured a 26-22 win over determined Ukraine, the conditions cooler after morning rain.

“We came here not knowing what to expect or how our boys would go but to win two of our three games is very pleasing,” said USA Young Hawks head coach, George Tupou.

This was a tough game

“This was a tough game but we managed to win it and this brings us a lot of attention and a hopefully a wider pool of talent, it’s getting our name out there.”

Ukraine lost influential Ryan Jurkans, who was injured in a tackle after the game’s opening break away in the first minute but they opened the scoring when Ryslan Lipisii created the space for Arsen Havdo to burrow his way over.

Drayson Moliga returned a penalty kick that failed to find touch half-way to spectacularly dive between the posts, giving Lidarius Moananu an easy shot on goal to nose USA in front.

Koloamatangi latched onto a sublime offload to move USA further ahead and added his second three minutes later, Michael Fonua converting the first.

Ihor Yefanov stepped and dummied his way into the corner for Ukraine to keep them in touch, adding a superb conversion from the touchline to make it 16-10 at the interval.

In the 45th minute, Popeliuk Valerii angled his run to the posts, Yefanov levelling, and Andrii Mordovanets capitalised on a USA mix up at the back from a kick for Vitaliy Bycharskyi to add an easy conversion.

Isaac Fonua hit back for USA on the hour mark, diving into the corner from brother Michael’s pass, but Moananu was unable to convert. Koloamatangi had the final word, just latching onto a kick into the in goal to settle the outcome, giving Chris Malo an easy shot on goal.

Yefanov was sent off for disputing the decision, leaving Ukraine shorthanded for the final two sets of a superb game.

Ukraine U19s coach, Ihor Yurkin, commented: “It was a great game, we tried our best throughout and even though we lost this – and the whole tournament – has been a great experience for our boys.”

After the tournament formalities, the Ukraniain squad left on a two day bus journey back home.

Half Time: 16-10

Scotland proved to be too strong in their final match, defeating hosts Serbia 56-0 in a contest not without controversy.

Jacob Grierson crossed for Scotland’s second try in the 12th minute but was then sent off for punching.

Serbia’s Sasa O’Flynn dispatched to the sin bin for his part in the incident which was also placed on report – but the Scots took the setback in their stride.

“It was an impressive win for the boys,” said Scotland U19 coach Mark Milnes.

It was a really gritty victory

‘It was a really gritty victory and great to see a lot of young lads make their debuts.

We have a development programme in place and hopefully this is the start of something.”

Frazer Murray opened the scoring before Grierson dropped the ball over line prior to his try and red card and, with both sides a man down, Tom Gray and Harry Roper went over, Michael Myles perfect with the boot.

With Serbia restored to 13 men they showed more promise and pressure, camping out on Scotland’s line for several sets but couldn’t make it pay, Bailey Schneider extending Scotland’s lead.

Centre Murray posted his brace a minute into the second half and Jack Suddick found his way to the line ten minutes later, Oli Brady on successful kicking duties.

A powerful run from 40m out by prop Isaac Reid added further points just after the hour mark, Isaac Jepson crossing on the next set.

Scotland’s tenth try came from a long Hayden Cumming break, Maxwell Shelton backing up for the touchdown.

Serbia coaching consultant, Darren Fisher, said: “It’s been a great competition overall and for our boys it’s been a great learning curve.

It’s been good to see us put some structure in our game as the competition went on. We’re pretty pleased despite the results.”

Euro u19s team of the tournament announced

The organisers of the 2024 European Rugby League U19s Championship, held in Serbia capital Belgrade, have praised the competing teams for their contribution to a successful tournament, while also announcing the competition’s Dream Team.

Selected by ERL coaching manager Martin Crick, the side recognises performances over all of the matches. All the selected players were presented a trophy to recognise their achievement.

England retained the title after a thrilling 15-8 victory over France in the Championship decider. ERL general manager, David Butler, commented:

“I would like to thank England, France, Scotland, Serbia, USA and Ukraine for providing us with a fantastic festival of rugby league over the last 11 days.

“The quality on display was excellent, history was made at several junctures not least with USA playing their first youth international games and winning two, and England recording the first back-to-back U19s Championship.

It was again humbling to welcome the Ukrainians despite the challenges that they continue to face, and we were pleased to see Scotland return to the competition.

“As has become tradition, over the course of the time together, the teams’ interaction and support of one another was remarkable and friendships between players and staff from all nations have been formed for life.

“I would like to thank our team of match officials who came together from eight different countries to support the tournament, some of whom brought great experience and shared and supported those newer to the game to give everyone a positive experience.”

Butler added: “I would also like to recognise the extensive efforts that the Serbian Rugby League Federation went to in organising the tournament and providing an unprecedented level of support to the competition.

Overall we achieved improved media coverage of the event which increased the tournament’s reach, with over 100,000 views of the games which were broadcast live on Facebook.”

Scotland progress to u19s European Championship semi finals as USA debut

Scotland withstood an opening barrage from USA to progress to the semi finals of the 2024 European U19s Championship in a delayed tie at the FC Radnicki Stadium in Belgrade, winning 32-10.

The clash was held over because of travel difficulties after storms in the region and despite a 10.30am local time kick off, temperatures continued to swelter with only a light relieving breeze.

USA’s Young Hawks, in their first-ever outing, made a great impression especially early on but Scotland’s greater nous, displayed by their excellent spine, saw them home.

“It was a really enjoyable occasion despite the heat which affected handling a little for both sides,” said Scotland U19s head coach Leigh Beattie.

“The lads are already in the ice bath’s preparing for favourites France, they’ll be no lack of effort for that match.”

Scotland prop Isaac Reid had the first chance but spilt the ball on his way to the line.

The Hawks quickly growing into the contest and claiming the opening try when Drayson Moliga spectacularly dived into the left corner, Lidarius Moananu with a superb conversion from the touchline.

Scotland full back Hayden Cumming spotted a gap to respond from close in and his side went ahead soon after, Seth Clapham finishing a fine passing move to the left for the first of his brace of tries, Maxwell Shelton adding the extras.

Tries just before and after the break put the Scots in control, Jack Suddick on an overlap on the right before hooter and Clapham with his second at the start of the second period with another clinical finish.

Winger Isaac Jepson appeared to have added a further try shortly afterwards but Clapham’s pass was ruled forward.

Impressive Moananu crashed over for USA

Impressive Moananu crashed over for USA out wide just after the hour to keep them in contention, but he pushed his conversion attempt wide.

The Hawks sent a kick out on the full and then compounded the error with a goal line drop also heading over the touchline allowing Shelton to establish a 12-point lead from the penalty.

Jepson gained his reward cleaning up Clapham’s offload and the best was saved until last with loose forward Tom Gray’s excellent long-range midfield break completing the try scoring, Shelton with his fourth successful shot at goal.

George Tupou, USA Young Hawks head coach, commented:

“I’m really proud of the boys in their first competitive performance. It was the first time they’ve played as a team. A couple of silly mistakes at play the balls cost them but we made history.

A little bit of lack of experience showed but Scotland played well, they knew how to capitalise.”

Scotland will now face France in the second semi final on Wednesday at 6pm (local time), while USA will take on hosts Serbia in the 5th v 6th play-off match at 2pm on the same day.

Squads arrive in Belgrade for European u19 Championship

The six nations competing in the 2024 Rugby League European Championship have arrived in the Serbian capital Belgrade. The tournament opens with quarter-final games tomorrow (Sunday) between Serbia and Ukraine, followed by Scotland versus USA.

Defending champions England’s Community Lions enter at the semi-final stage to take on either Serbia or Ukraine on Wednesday 17 July, while France – favoutites after their recent win over England Academy – will face the winner of Scotland and USA, as they bid to regain the title which they won in 2018.

The two losing quarter-finalists will meet in the 5th vs 6th place play-off game.

The final day of competition takes place on Saturday 20 July, with the championship final while the other teams who have not yet met will play in grading games for the 2026 tournament.

“We’re very excited for kick off on Sunday,” said ERL general manager David Butler.

“As well as producing some very competitive and entertaining rugby league, the 2022 tournament in Italy also created a sense of friendship and camaraderie between the competing teams and I’m sure that we will see both in good measure this time around in Belgrade.

The Serbia Rugby League Federation has worked very hard on the ground to prepare for the tournament, and I am sure that everyone competing is going to enjoy their hospitality.”

USA Young Hawks make their debut at this level with the bulk of their squad coming from the Utah area which is the first to inaugurate domestic youth competition, while Pheonix Death (Mona Vale Raiders) and Ryan Jurkans (Singleton Greyhounds) travel from Australia to represent Ukraine, and Hayden Cumming (Mackay Magpies) and Bailey Schneider (Manly Sea Eagles) will play for Scotland.

All games will be broadcast live on the European Rugby League Facebook Page – www.facebook.com/eurorugbyleague
