A run-in with a over-zealous security guard prevented our man on the ground in the South of France from filing a report on the first game of the Junior Wallabies U20 World Championship. Thankfully ‘Anonymous Rugby Supporter’ got himself media accreditation for Game 2 and was able to get these photos to us.
Matt McTaggart scores for the Junior Wallabies
After a disappointing loss to Wales in their 1st Round Pool A game, the Junior Wallabies have bounced back with a good 54 – 19 win over the Japanese U20 team.
With only the top team from each of the 3 pools, plus the next best team on for and against, going through to the Finals, the Junior Wallabies’ final pool game against New Zealand, is a must win game. No surprises (yet) in other pools (B & C), with England and South Africa looking most likely to progress to the finals.
Australia 54 (Tries: Lonergan 2, Tupou, Ma’afu, McDermott, Hansen, McTaggart, Wood; Conv: Lucas 4, Harrison 3) defeated Japan 19 (Tries: Yamasawa, Yamamoto, Vakalahi; Conv: Mamada, Mori)
