2010 Records
Weather Forecast: Clear, Temperature 7-8°C, Wind Speed 8-13 km/h The final of the 2010 IRB Junior World Championship takes place on Monday evening in Rosario and features two traditional rugby adversaries in Australia and New Zealand, who have been the most impressive sides throughout the tournament. Australia have reached their first ever final following a 28-16 win over England in the semi finals and are the leading try scorers in the tournament. They have played an entertaining style of rugby throughout, looking to attack at every opportunity. Tournament favourites New Zealand are looking to win the trophy for the third consecutive year and extend their 100% record in these tournaments to 15 matches. They qualified for the final with a convincing 36-7 victory over South Africa, a team that lost by just seven points to Australia in the last round of Pool matches. Australia have made just one change to the team that defeated England, with COLBY FAINGAA preferred at flanker to EDWARD QUIRK, who moves to the replacements bench in place of LACHLAN McCAFFREY. New Zealand have named an unchanged starting line up from the team that beat South Africa, with just one change on the replacements bench, where RICHARD HADDON replaces MATT GRAHAM.

JWC COMMENTATORS NOTES (contd) History New Zealand have won both the previous IRB Junior World Championships whilst Australia finished 5th in 2008 and 4th in 2009. The two countries met in the semi finals last year when New Zealand won 31-17, which is the lowest winning margin in any Baby Blacks match since the competition began.
Experience Replacement prop WILLIE IOANE is the only member of New Zealand’s squad who played in the 2009 IRB Junior World Championship in Japan and started in the win over Australia. Four of Australia’s starting line up were involved in the 2009 IRB Junior World Championships in Japan; captain and number 8 JAKE SCHATZ, who scored tries against both Scotland and Tonga; scrum half NICHOLAS WHITE, fly half MATT TOOMUA, who along with full back LUKE MORAHAN toured with the Australian senior squad last year, and inside centre ROBBIE COLEMAN. Only WHITE did not start in the defeat to New Zealand in the semi finals, although he did make a late appearance from the replacements bench.
Catch me if you can New Zealand wing JULIAN SAVEA is the tournament’s leading try scorer with eight tries, four ahead of Australia’s AIDAN TOUA and England’s JONNY MAY.
The hat trick heroes An Australian player scored a hat trick of tries in every Pool match at the tournament and all three start against England on Thursday; left wing AIDAN TOUA was the first to three against Scotland, followed by NICHOLAS WHITE against Tonga and finally DOMINIC SHIPPERLEY against South Africa.
Three of a kind New Zealand’s BLADE THOMSON and TOM MARSHALL have also scored three tries in this year’s tournament, along with Australia’s ROBBIE COLEMAN.
The man in the middle PASCAL GAUZERE of France takes charge of this game. This will be his 7th match in the IRB Junior World Championships over the last two years and he officiated in Australia’s 58-13 win over Scotland and New Zealand’s 77-7 success over Samoa earlier in this tournament. Mr. Gauzere has shown six yellow cards in the six matches, including one to Australia prop PAUL-ALO EMILE.

2010 Records
Weather Forecast: Clear, Temperature 7-8°C, Wind Speed 8-13 km/h The final of the 2010 IRB Junior World Championship takes place on Monday evening in Rosario and features two traditional rugby adversaries in Australia and New Zealand, who have been the most impressive sides throughout the tournament. Australia have reached their first ever final following a 28-16 win over England in the semi finals and are the leading try scorers in the tournament. They have played an entertaining style of rugby throughout, looking to attack at every opportunity. Tournament favourites New Zealand are looking to win the trophy for the third consecutive year and extend their 100% record in these tournaments to 15 matches. They qualified for the final with a convincing 36-7 victory over South Africa, a team that lost by just seven points to Australia in the last round of Pool matches. Australia have made just one change to the team that defeated England, with COLBY FAINGAA preferred at flanker to EDWARD QUIRK, who moves to the replacements bench in place of LACHLAN McCAFFREY. New Zealand have named an unchanged starting line up from the team that beat South Africa, with just one change on the replacements bench, where RICHARD HADDON replaces MATT GRAHAM.

The powerhouse unit The combined weight of the Australia pack is 876 kg, which gives them a 15 kg advantage over their New Zealand opponents. The heaviest player on the pitch is Australia loosehead prop SALESI MANU who tips the scales at 126 kg (19st 12lbs) and has an 8 kg weight advantage over his direct opponent in the scrum, JEFF ALLEN.

JWC COMMENTATORS NOTES (contd) History New Zealand have won both the previous IRB Junior World Championships whilst Australia finished 5th in 2008 and 4th in 2009. The two countries met in the semi finals last year when New Zealand won 31-17, which is the lowest winning margin in any Baby Blacks match since the competition began.
Experience Replacement prop WILLIE IOANE is the only member of New Zealand’s squad who played in the 2009 IRB Junior World Championship in Japan and started in the win over Australia. Four of Australia’s starting line up were involved in the 2009 IRB Junior World Championships in Japan; captain and number 8 JAKE SCHATZ, who scored tries against both Scotland and Tonga; scrum half NICHOLAS WHITE, fly half MATT TOOMUA, who along with full back LUKE MORAHAN toured with the Australian senior squad last year, and inside centre ROBBIE COLEMAN. Only WHITE did not start in the defeat to New Zealand in the semi finals, although he did make a late appearance from the replacements bench.
Catch me if you can New Zealand wing JULIAN SAVEA is the tournament’s leading try scorer with eight tries, four ahead of Australia’s AIDAN TOUA and England’s JONNY MAY.
The hat trick heroes An Australian player scored a hat trick of tries in every Pool match at the tournament and all three start against England on Thursday; left wing AIDAN TOUA was the first to three against Scotland, followed by NICHOLAS WHITE against Tonga and finally DOMINIC SHIPPERLEY against South Africa.
Three of a kind New Zealand’s BLADE THOMSON and TOM MARSHALL have also scored three tries in this year’s tournament, along with Australia’s ROBBIE COLEMAN.
The man in the middle PASCAL GAUZERE of France takes charge of this game. This will be his 7th match in the IRB Junior World Championships over the last two years and he officiated in Australia’s 58-13 win over Scotland and New Zealand’s 77-7 success over Samoa earlier in this tournament. Mr. Gauzere has shown six yellow cards in the six matches, including one to Australia prop PAUL-ALO EMILE.
