Having fallen to Australia in their second match of the U20 Rugby Championship in Gqeberha on Tuesday afternoon, the Junior Springboks will have to regroup quickly ahead of their final match of the competition, against New Zealand this coming Sunday.

Kevin Foote's team lost 29-24 to the junior Wallabies after leading 17-0 early in the second half.

The Junior Boks won their first game of the competition, against Argentina, last Thursday and next face the junior All Blacks on Sunday.

Foote gave all the credit to the Australian team for turning the game in their favour. They scored four second half tries to edge the South Africans by five points.

"We got pegged down in our own half after half-time, and a few turnovers gave them opportunities and momentum," said Foote.
