The Junior Springboks proved far too strong for Wales in Treviso, Italy on Tuesday as they were the deserved winners of the U20 Six Nations Summer Series, a competition in which they ended unbeaten. | Sport24news
Wales needed to score first in the second half if they had any chance of working their way back into the match, and they did so with an unconverted try by outside centre Mason Grady who finished off a long-range attack that started in their own half.The Junior Boks hit back almost immediately as Lange scored his hat-trick, using his power to force his way over the line for a converted try from close in to push the score out to 33-8.
South Africa added further tries through Hartzenberg and Ethan James, while Wales scored tries through Joe Westwood, Efan Daniels and Dafydd Jenkins, making the score a little more respectable. Junior Springbok captain Mngomezulu said afterwards playing in the U20 Summer Series was a dream come true for him and the team."Credit must also go to the coaches who made us work hard and put in such a good effort for us to be ready.
"It's an amazing feeling standing here unbeaten after four games. Not too long ago, we didn't even play rugby, so credit to World Rugby and the Six Nations for staging this excellent tournament. They allowed the boys to create life-long memories," added the Junior Bok skipper.Conversions: Sacha Mngomezulu , Donovan Don Penalty: Joe HawkinsIn times of uncertainty you need journalism you can trust.
