NZ U20 to beat Wales to book semifinal spot

NZ U20 to beat Wales to book semifinal spot
Action between NZ and Ireland in the opening match of the U20 World Championship.

The New Zealand Under‑20 rugby side must convincingly beat Wales tomorrow morning if they to have chance of making the semifinals at the championships in England.

The coach Scott Robertson has made several positional changes and brought in a couple of new faces in the wake of the loss to Ireland in the last game.

The competition is split into three pools of four teams each. The winner of each pool advances to the semi‑finals with the best placed second team also joining the top four.

New Zealand is essentially chasing the best runner‑up spot, vying with Australia and South Africa for the fourth spot.
