The Junior Springboks produced a massive forward driven performance to smash Fiji into submission as they powered to a massive 57-7 win in their World Rugby U20 Championship opener at the Cape Town Stadium on Saturday night.
It was a huge effort from the Junior Boks scrum that constantly had the Fijians on the back foot throughout the match, which allowed their backs to run riot, as they ran in eight tries to one for a dominant win.
It was the perfect start to the competition for the hosts and they will hope to back it up with another strong showing in their second match against Argentina on Thursday.
Fast startIn the match the Junior Boks got off to a fast start with two tries in the opening 13 minutes, the first from a quick tap in the Fiji 22m, with the ball was popped to outside centre Jurenzo Julius who powered over to score, while flyhalf Liam Koen added the extras for a 7-0 lead after nine minutes.
Three minutes later the hosts attacked from a lineout in Fijis 22m, with the ball spread down the line where fullback Michail Damon slipped through a gap to go over in the corner, with Koen slotting the conversion.
