The sister tournament to the World Rugby U20 Championship, the winner of the U20 Trophy will replace Samoa in the 2018 edition of the Championship. Samoa, who finished bottom of the standings in Georgia, will compete at the U20 Trophy in 2018 in an attempt to secure an immediate return to the top tier.
It's been a busy year for Uruguay; as well as hosting the U20 Trophy, they hosted the World Rugby Nations Cup in June and will also welcome teams for the World Rugby Americas Pacific Challenge in October.
Details on the broadcast and streaming of the U20 Trophy will be announced in due course.
