U20 Junior World Cup Wrap: New Zealand Cruise in Opener

There were wins for England, Italy, South Africa, France, Wales and New Zealand on the opening day of the World Rugby U20 Championship.

England saw off Argentina 39-18 in Narbonne thanks to tries from the impressive Jordan Olowofela (2), Henry Walker (2) and starlet Marcus Smith.

South Africa were made to work as they edged out Georgia 33-27, with Wandisile Simelane, Muller Uys (2), Tyrone Green and Zak Burger crossing.

Meanwhile, there was a shock in the other early game as Italy beat Scotland 27-26. A penalty try was followed up by Giovanni D’Onofrio and Alessandro Forcucci’s tries before a late Niccolo Taddia crossing saw the Azzurri come out on top and Scotland suffer a tough defeat.

In the late matches hosts France beat Ireland 26-24 thanks to tries from Maxime Marty (2), Arthur Coville and Romain Ntamack, Wales overcame Australia 26-21, Ioan Nicholas and Joe Goodchild going over, while New Zealand eased past Japan 67-0, with Jamie Spowat scoring a hat-trick in the 11-try win.
