Junior Boks name an unchanged team for World Rugby Under-20 semifinal against France
ROSARIO – Junior Springbok coach Chean Roux named the same starting team that came out firing against New Zealand for their World Rugby U20 Championship semifinal against defending champions, France, at the Racecourse Stadium,m in Rosario on Monday evening .
With the player combinations settled and delivering on their roles, Roux said it was important to maintain consistency as they enter the final stages of the tournament. The coach expects a big onslaught from France, who proved to be tough opponents in the last two World Rugby U20 Championships. “France have a physical pack of forwards and a solid halfback combination that tends to kick a lot,” said the coach. “They are a talented team and they enjoy speeding up the game. I am not sure what the weather will hold, but if it is wet they will have a good kicking plan, so we need to be ready for that.”“I think we need to build on what we did in our last match.
