New Zealand U20's reach final following French stare down
By Fred Culazzo
New Zealand have reached the U20 Championship final following an eventful semi-final win over France. The game began with a 2-minute stand-off as both sides refused to budge following the Haka. The referee finally managed to coax the Baby Blacks into action much to the delight of the onlooking French team.

The move backfired spectacularly as New Zealand went on to demolish France 29-0 in a one-sided first half. The pick of the tries came courtesy a sublime assist from Tiaan Falcon:

France did manage to muster a comeback in the second half scoring this fine effort from winger, Tauzin. The game however was out of reach, with New Zealand running out 39-26 winners.

The nsw and qld teams do look stronger for 2025. Do you think Dan M might take longer to get success as he is new and has a new squad?
Also great mention of the Penrith Emus. The neglect of rugby in Sydney outside the 'traditional' private school areas has had a lasting effect with many sports fans in Sydney. They wouldn't know or care when the wallabies play.
