It has been four years since the tournament last took place, with the last three editions being cancelled because of the Coronavirus pandemic. 

The Championship will be held in South Africa for the next two years (2023 and 2024). The 2023 edition will be the second time South Africa welcome the future stars of the game after 2012 when the Junior Springboks won on home soil.

Played over five match days in the Western Cape Wineland regions of Stellenbosch, Paarl and Wellington, the 12 nations have been placed into three pools and will play to claim the title from defending champions France. 

England have been placed in Pool B and will face Australia, Ireland and Fiji in the pool stages.
