Junior Boks Too Good in the End

U-20S: SCRAPPY BUT ENOUGH TO MAKE IT TO THE FINAL

- Ross Roche

Heavily penalised Junior Springbok team still managed to show enough class to power their way to a comfortable 48-24 win over Argentina U-20s in their World Rugby U-20 Championship semifinal at the Stadio Luigi Zaffanella in Viadana, Italy last night.

The Junior Boks found themselves on the wrong end of the referee's whistle, particularly at the breakdown and at scrum time, as they conceded 16 penalties to just six from Argentina, while they also received two yellow cards.

Despite those struggles they still outscored their Southern Hemisphere rivals six tries to three, as they set up a final meeting on Saturday with New Zealand, after they defeated France 34-26 in the earlier semifinal.
