The Junior Boks played a controlled game with a clear plan, with their pack delivering a physical masterclass and providing their dangerous backs with a brilliant attacking platform.

Although they were sometimes undone by unnecessary errors, the SA U20s could not be faulted for their effort, attacking with intent and often ripping the Aussie defence to shreds and controlling the pace of the game by dominating possession.

Despite a few strong early carries, there were mistakes on the Junior Bok side, but they showed their intent in the sixth minute when Haashim Pead (scrumhalf) raced away for the opening try from a counter-attack that started deep inside their own half, with Siphosethu Mnebelele (hooker) putting in a good run. 

The Junior Boks top Pool A and play England on Friday. England beat Scotland 56-19 in the other Pool A match played at the weekend.
