England beat South Africa in the World Rugby U20 Championship

The U20 finals will be an all nothern hemisphere affair after South Africa suffered a convincing 39-17 defeat against England in Manchester last night. Ireland will appear in the tournament's finals for the first time after beating Argentina 37-7. South American Pulella was handed a red card for a head butt to the cheek of Irish No. 4 Sean O’Connor in the 72nd minute.

New Zealand certainly showed the performance of the day though, as Wales were retenlessly hammered with try after try. The game ended on a spectaular 71-12 score for NZ.

The Wallabies and Force No 8 fractured his right scapular after coming on to replace Sean McMahon in the 50th minute against England this weekend. He has been ruled out for 6 weeks at the very least and will miss the third test of the season as well as the rest of the 2016 Super Rugby calendar.
