New Zealand U20's reach final following French stare down

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:
