The World Rugby Under 20 Championship (known as the IRB Junior World Championship until 2014) is an international rugby union competition. Burke’s conversion put his side into the lead for the first time in the match. This event replaced the IRB's former age-grade world championships, the Under 19 and Under 21 World Championships. Donaldson added the extras before De la Vega Mendia reduced Argentina’s deficit just as McDonald returned to the field. It wasn’t until the end of the first quarter that Georgia got involved in an attacking sense and after a flowing move that twice involved centre Lasha Lomidze, the Junior Lelos thought they’d got back on level terms when Beka Koriauli dived over in the corner. There was no let-up in the intensity or the intent in the second half, but it was 14 minutes before any more points were scored, Fiji fly-half Caleb Muntz landing his first penalty from around 30 metres out. New Zealand's defeat means the six-time champions will finish outside the top six for the first time in the 12-year history of the competition.

Wales led for the majority of their fifth place play-off with New Zealand but had to endure a nervy finish as Fergus Burke had a kick to win the match only to see his effort drift wide of the uprights, Cai Evans' penalty ensuring it was the Welsh celebrating an 8-7 victory instead. You can’t finish bottom in this competition and we’ve got to go home and work hard.”. In fact it was Donaldson and Australia who had the last say in Rosario as the fly-half’s late penalty added a bit more gloss to victory and secured their spot in a first U20 Championship final since Argentina hosted the tournament last in 2010. Tierney-Martin’s time off the pitch ended with a series of attacking scrums for his side on the English five-metre line and it was from the first set-piece with their hooker back on the field that Craig Casey and Healy worked the space for Jonathan Wren to score in the left corner. South Africa only briefly threatened in the first quarter, second-row pairing JJ van der Mescht and Elrigh Louw combining well to put Rikus Pretorius in space but Les Bleuets defended the edge well and bundled him into touch. New Zealand still had a chance to win it at the death but Evans’ opposite number Fergus Blake pulled his attempt just wide. Italy made sure of their place in next year’s World Rugby U20 Championship with a 26-19 defeat of Scotland, who will now face a relegation play-off on Saturday. It gave the Azzurrini a 26-7 lead that looked unassailable until the final five minutes when Scotland took advantage of Antoine Koffi’s yellow card to score two tries, a second for Ashman before a stunning solo effort from Jack Blain gave them hope.

Credit to Argentina they played some really good footy but I’m proud of the boys to win with 14 men.”, Argentina centre Geronimo Prisciantelli said: “It was a very close match but today they made the points they had to make and we couldn’t.”.

In the last meaningful action before the players headed off, Moscardi again proved the architect as his flicked pass found Andrea Mastandrea to touch down. The event is organised by the sport's governing body, World Rugby, and is contested by 12 men's junior national teams with an under-20 age requirement. And the Junior Wallabies scrum-half would be at the centre of the action before half-time. The inaugural tournament was held in June 2008, hosted by Wales and with 16 teams participating. And following a period of Argentine pressure, in which the hosts were denied a try by a brilliant Isaac Lucas tackle, things got even better for the Junior Wallabies. Our use of cookies is described further in our. Alivereti Loaloa’s yellow card for a dangerous tackle allowed Georgia a route back into the game and a converted try from bruising number eight Ioane Iashagashvili brought them to within one point of the Pacific Islanders. Carbonel then hacked the ball downfield after a mix-up at the back of a South African scrum and France spent the best part of the second quarter camped inside Junior Springboks’ territory. Australia captain Fraser McReight: “We were really on the ropes, especially at the end of that first half. With all 12 teams now based in Rosario for the knockout stages, the weather played its part on semi-finals day with heavy rain for the opening matches with New Zealand, Wales, Scotland and Italy being forced off the field on safety grounds with lightning strikes in close proximity to the Racecourse Stadium and Club Old Resian. The 2019 World Rugby Under 20 Championship was the twelfth edition of the premier age-grade competition for rugby. A series of penalties from the resulting scrum allowed the Scots to move play into the Italian 22, where their pack ultimately showed their opponents how it’s done as hooker Ewan Ashman scored the game’s opening try. Vano Karkadze’s try with the last play of the game, after 23 phases, gave Georgia the lead for the first time in the match and broke Fiji’s hearts. His conversion gave the Junior Wallabies a 31-13 lead with around 25 minutes remaining and although Los Pumitas spent much of that time camped inside the Australian half they were unable to breach the try-line. When Dylan Tierney-Martin was sent to the sin-bin for a high tackle on Hodge it looked as though England might canter to victory, but like Ireland in the first half they struggled to make their numerical advantage count.

France edged a titanic battle with Australia in the World Rugby U20 Championship 2019 final to successfully defend the title they won on home soil in 2018 and deny the Junior Wallabies a first ever title. However, despite playing for 20 minutes of the first half a man light as first Ted Hill and then Kai Owen were sent to the sin-bin for dangerous tackles, Ireland did not punish them as they had done in Santa Fe 13 days earlier. Fittingly, the only score of the first half came from a couple of handling errors on 18 minutes. But McDonald was soon the villain, the scrum-half shown a second yellow card, and automatic red, while conceding a penalty try for a high tackle on Isgro as the Argentina winger attempted to score in the right corner. However, on closer inspection, the flanker had put a foot in touch before grounding the ball. Thompson was charged down by Garbisi before Trulla carved through the Scottish defence, but both times possession was ultimately coughed up. They will face England in the fifth place play-off after Tom Willis's try with the final play secured a 30-23 victory over Ireland after extra-time looked to be on the cards. There was just as much drama in the ninth place semi-final between Fiji and Georgia, the Junior Lelos going through more than 20 phases with the clock in red before test-capped hooker Vano Karkadze found his way over the line to seal a 12-8 victory and condemn the Pacific Islanders to a final-day shootout with Scotland to avoid relegation to the World Rugby U20 Trophy in 2020. This event replaced the IRB's former age-grade world championships, the Under 19 and Under 21 World Championships. Garbisi made no mistake in the 62nd minute, though, as he took possession following a strong Italian scrum and cut an angle through the Scottish defence to score a try he then converted. Scotland had also staged a late rally in the day's opening match at Old Club Resian, but despite scoring two late tries it was Italy who triumphed 26-19.
