South Africa recorded a 48-24 victory over Argentina in Viadana, Italy, last night to advance to their first World Rugby Under-20 Championship final in 11 years. The Junior Springboks, who last won the event in 2012, will play old foes New Zealand in the final in Rovigo on Saturday evening. The Junior All Blacks qualified for the final courtesy of a 34-26 victory over France. In the four matches they’ve played in the tournaments so far, the Junior Boks have scored 226 points, conceding only 77. And last night they outscored the Junior Pumas by six tries to three for another comfortable victory.
