Live blog: Junior World Championship in South Africa – day two
By Liam Heagney
It’s day two at the 2023 Junior World Championship and another cracking fixtures list is in store with six more matches set to be played across two venues in South Africa.
Rugby fans in Paarl will be especially spoiled by what is in store at the local school ground as Thursday’s schedule kicks off with the mouth-watering meeting of Ireland, the current U20s Six Nations champions, versus Australia.
Next on the list is the clash of France, the title holders from 2019, and New Zealand, the tournament’s most frequent title winners, and the feast of Paarl action concludes with the hosts South Africa tackling Italy.
Meanwhile, down the road in Stellenbosch, the activity begins with Wales taking on Japan followed by Argentina against Georgia and round two will then be concluded by England facing Fiji.
It’s a bumper programme of age-grade entertainment and you can follow how it all unfolds on the RugbyPass live blog:
