We have an indepth look at the two teams ahead of this afternoon’s 2019 World Rugby U20 Championship 7th Place Final match. Kick off is at 13:00 in Argentina, 17:00 in UK/IRE.
The match should be streamed live for those of us in the UK and will also be shown on EIR Sports.
Why is this match important?
Both the teams are playing for pride, plus the final rankings will determine their pool draw for next season. The main driver in this game will be that both teams will feel they have underperformed in this tournament.
New Zealand, who have won this tournament six times, have never finished lower than 5th.
Ireland, who won the Grand Slam in the 2019 Six Nations, will be disappointed to now be finishing behind European rivals France, Wales and England.
