Baby Blacks run riot against Wales in Junior World Championships

The New Zealand under 20 side put in another commanding performance at the Junior World Championship in Italy, this time crushing Wales 92-0.

The Baby Blacks, who are perennial favourites at this age grade, were at their clinical best, punishing Wales for their errors, once again showing that they have their systems firmly in place in New Zealand.

While boasting players with NPC and Super Rugby experience, the Baby Blacks - triple world champions - showed their class as they turned over ball frequently, maximising the opportunities handed to them. They scored 14 tries, which is actually two less than the current record for the tournament, which is when South Africa beat the USA 108-18 in 2008.

Flyhalf Gareth Anscombe was a constant threat, and as with their opening match, kicked well as he equalled last week's impressive tally of 22 points in the game.

Argentina have the task of stopping the black tide next, heading for 17 consecutive victories, when they meet on Sunday.

The following two videos give a rundown of each other days play, focused predominantly on New Zealand's dominance. We'll try organise highlights from the other games soon.

1st :)

Embarrassing

Man, that is embarrasing

The future is bright for Wales.

Was that good old Justin Marshall commentating? I really do like him, when he's with a team of guys or even doing the main stuff himself, I really rate him a commentator. Would love to see him get plenty of air time come RWC.

This is embarassing though. Considering USA lost with the score they did...they probably had so many random guys playing for their team....but this is Wales' future lol, damn. It always seems the bigstrongfast wingers seem to tear up this comp. Savea, Puitau (sp?) etc.

sweet fat man pass on the first try

Who gives a fuck about this? It shouldn't even be televised.

I rate 7s above this.

Well I'm an England supporter through and through but I do love good rugby (so I'm not a biased twat like some NH/SH supporters)

So technically I should support Wales but LMFAO! would not have liked to play that game... One of those 'it's a long day' games!

By Anonymous, at June 17, 2011 1:01 am
If under 20s meant anything england would be the best team in the world. Wales take 7s much more seriously.

It's the Junior World Cup, most of these players will go on to play for their natioanl teams in the next few years, all will be club or province players.
You don't care about it? Do you even like rugby?

Rugby is rugby.. they play a better standard than me so I think I'll watch it.

By GF, at June 17, 2011 2:29 am
On a side note.. funny that NZ have a Welsh 13 - Rhys LLewelyn (sp). Moved there in 2007.

By gf, at June 17, 2011 2:38 am
Any chance of the highlights from the Ireland v England game? Or if not Conway's try as it was magic.

By draiochta, at June 17, 2011 3:36 am
New Zealand have a welsh 13! The question is, would he have been such a player if he had stayed i n Wales? My point: (also taken from the evidence on show here) age grade development in New Zealand is leagues ahead of anyone else it seems!! P.S. Wales, that boy could still play for you if ya snap him up....just a thought!!

By Alexander, at June 17, 2011 3:51 am
I dont think the welsh 13 playing for nz would want to go play for wales. why would he? unless he like losing a lot.

By Anonymous, at June 17, 2011 4:02 am
This is what happens when players are taught to focus on skills like passing, stepping, support play and ball handling.

Willie Losé is the commentator.

By noizy, at June 17, 2011 6:13 am
For all of those saying embarrasing, I would like to see one of you in that field playing against that team. I bet that most of you are fat ass losers sitting on your computer thinking you know something about rugby.

Wales had a great game against argentina, and lets not forget these are the all blacks.

By Didier, at June 17, 2011 6:51 am
There just seems to be no end to the amount of talent coming from New Zealand. Very entertaining stuff to watch.
Thanks RD, hope some more highlights from the JWC will be posted;-)

By Guy, at June 17, 2011 8:14 am
Yes Didier, that was the junior All Blacks, but the worrying thing is, that was also supposed to be the Junior Welsh team. Given how big Rugby is in Wales, it is highly embarrasing. As for the Dick who rates 7s above this, you have clearly not watched any of the games, I have watched quite a few and find it as entertaining as the full internationals.

By JG, at June 17, 2011 8:24 am
Only reason it is embarrassing is that Italy a country not known for rugby put up more of a fight. The difference is the kiwi’s go into every game thinking they are the best and that no team is good enough to be them. Wales just don’t have that mental strength.

By Anonymous, at June 17, 2011 8:49 am
The Baby Boks will win this tournament. You heard it here first.

By Anonymous, at June 17, 2011 10:29 am
If the welsh 13 for NZ wants to have a long international career then he should go to Wales. If he stays he will most likely end up having 1 or 2 caps.

By Anonymous, at June 17, 2011 10:29 am
Is that another Whitelock brother? Those guys must be looking at fielding at minimum a competitive 7's team. Piatau (sp?) looks pretty impressive.

what exactly are you basing that on? The JWC was started 3yrs ago and should be used to create depth and quality for the senior teams. As you can see it seems to be working quite well for New Zealand.

England aren't best in the world at any sport that I can think of now that you mention it, why would U20's be any different?

From a rugby fans point of view it's great stuff to watch, fast skillful and no 10 scrums to break things up.

Thanks for the post RD

By I hate ppl who write "First!", at June 17, 2011 11:06 am
*10min scrums ^^^^^

...oh and it's not like a country chooses between 7's and U20's and while we're at it Wales aren't that impressive at 7's either

By I hate ppl who write "First!", at June 17, 2011 11:15 am
Curious that anyone commented the way the 10 from wales kick... it was maybe the most entertaining part of all...

By Anonymous, at June 17, 2011 11:29 am
I wonder if the Whitelocks are trying to breed enough talents to field a whole team on their own.

By Anonymous, at June 17, 2011 11:47 am
Loved the prop's miss pass out wide for the first try. Fantastic! Delayed the short pass then spun it out wide.

By medicaluke, at June 17, 2011 11:54 am
to be fair, a fair few players left the U20 set up for wales last year, and maybe the next group of youngsters will be better. However.... playing in wales i know its all about gym and hardly any skills work, which clearly inst working. WRU needs a massive shake up from u8s to the regions. Got to feel sorry for argentina though, who we beat before that nz game

By Anonymous, at June 17, 2011 12:28 pm
None of these Welsh players have played any professional rugby. Maybe that's a problem?

By Anonymous, at June 17, 2011 12:42 pm
Mathew Morgan has had a couple of Ospreys games in the retarded LV cup but for some reason after winning the argentina game on his own he was dropped for NZ

By Anonymous, at June 17, 2011 12:49 pm
Well here's a concept: Maybe NZ are just that much better than them?? Simple really.. cant find excuses when you lose by nearly a ton.

NZ have always been amazing from a young age, so I wouldn't stress too much. Beaten by the better side.

By Laz, at June 17, 2011 12:52 pm
Argentina will be crapping their daks

By JG, at June 17, 2011 12:59 pm
wales were gash i was laughing watchin the game because it was so embarassing. why we changed our team from the team that took apart the argies i'll neevr know. not sure why he dropped morgan and made 7 changes from the previous match. it showed how much better the set up in new zealand is, there was a few little scuffles that you could say the welsh 'won' but when you lose 92-0 theres not much to brag about there? we should concentrate on our skills rather than gym work. the gym work is the easy stuff, the skills takes longer to develop

By Stuart, at June 17, 2011 1:51 pm
Out of interest, at what age do they start teaching the "baby blacks" how to choke in big games - anyone know?

By gusset, at June 17, 2011 2:01 pm
Dont NZ youth train in weight divisions rather than age? So that instead of big boys just running everyone over they're stuck against kids their size forcing them to develop good hands, quick feet and running lines.

By gf, at June 17, 2011 2:03 pm
Ihate ppl who write 1st '..oh and it's not like a country chooses between 7's and U20's and while we're at it Wales aren't that impressive at 7's either'
Wales actually won the last sevens world cup beating New Zealand in the quarter finals u BELLEND!!
U clearly have no clue about rugby or life while we are at it.
Get out of my sight!

Wales were 7th overall in the 7s series, which is pretty good all things considered. Where were the French and Scots?

By Anonymous, at June 17, 2011 3:17 pm
I heard that NZ only select second year under 20's for the team.

While the younger year is developed through training and also an opportunity to go to Europe for education and/or rugby training.

By Anonymous, at June 17, 2011 3:53 pm
whatever it is NZ do it works a lot better than anything anyone else does

By Anonymous, at June 17, 2011 4:34 pm
why didnt wales start cook and matthew morgan ?, And start an 18 year tight head on his first cap ? Poor decisions...Morgan should be in wales world cup squad, he is amazing..but fair play, those maori boys are big fast and have a bloody good eye for the game.(nz fullback was superb)

By DEO, at June 17, 2011 5:44 pm
That was typical Southern Hemisphere basketball stuff...... if they played proper rugby Wales would have won

"..clearly no clue about Rugby or life" hmmm, well thought statement there. How on earth you would have any idea is beyond me.
Seeing as I have to spell it out for you; When I say not THAT impressive, I mean not as impressive as NZ in the U20's in the seniors or if the current season is anything to go by rugby 7's.
You see the last world cup is past tense, while my phrase talks of the present, I'm surprised you didn't pick that up while you were having a moment of enlightenment on the life of someone you don't know.
They are currently behind Argentina in their group, and as rankings go, lie in 12place in the all time RWC 7's averages...so I stand by my point as it seems to be quite a bit more informed than yours.

By I hate ppl who write "First!", at June 17, 2011 6:21 pm
Lols, none of the names of the scorers were even from New Zealand.

By Anonymous, at June 17, 2011 9:35 pm
and i read mike philli[s has been banned today for misconduct, add that to henson, powell etc. welsh rugby is a joke.

By Chris Boy, at June 17, 2011 10:25 pm
Wow great statement Chris... What RUGBY incident did phillips get banned for?

I mean I don't remember ever playing rugby dressed the same as phillips, shirt, shoes, jacket, etc...

So what great misdeed did he perform ON THE PITCH, to allow you to comment on Welsh "Rugby" ?

By BDFG, at June 18, 2011 12:09 am
None of the player's names are from new zealand?
What does that even mean? You think people born in new zealand only have a certain type of last name???
What?
You do realise that new zealand is a nation of immigrants from all over the world right?
That there's more people with Samoan names in Auckland than in any other city in the world?
That there are immigrants from every country in Europe and most countries in Asia who have moved to NZ and raised families there?
You could be named Smith, Nguyen, Faingaa or Van den Bosh and still be a third genration Nzer.
What an incredibly ignorant statement.

That's a fallacy. Supporting wales makes you a biased twat. And if you supported good rugby you'd evidently be an All Blacks supporter.

Middle ground fallacy is gay.

haha, mate you know NOTHING about Sevens. Wales are an average Sevens team and the Sevens world cup has no relevance.

My grandparents moved to nz from samoa in the 60's, i have a samoan lastname but i consider myself 100%kiwi, learnt all my rugby skills here in NZ just like all the rest of these boys, so to say these guys are NOT kiwis just because some of them have polynesian lastnames is ridiculous...

By Anonymous, at June 19, 2011 4:48 am
surely most kiwis would have Welsh, Scottish, Irish, English and especially polynesian surnames anyway?

By Anonymous, at June 19, 2011 10:18 am
Alot do have UK or irish names, alot have Islander names, alot have Maori names.
But alot have Eastern European or Medditeranean heritage (at the end of WW2 huge numbers of southern and eastern europeans moved to Aus and NZ). Loads of Italians and Greek. Loads of Yugoslavians (alot mvoed there after WW2, alot during and after the wars in the 90s).
There's also large numbers of Asians, particularly Chinese and Vietnamese.
Nguyen and NG are very common names in NZ.
The point it is that NZ is a country where the majority of people's ancestors came from somewhere else. You could have any last name, from any national background and be a born and raised kiwi.
The same thing applies to other immigrant nations, like Aus or the US.

By N, at June 20, 2011 1:57 am
what capped it off for me was at the end of the game. Wales had the ball and had the penalty, the ref said last play and if they kick it out that would be the game. Instead of having a go and showing some ticker. They kick the ball out lol

By Anonymous, at June 20, 2011 3:56 am
The welsh press hyped up the team after they beat argentina, this however was a monumental dicking. argentina played ok against NZ by all accounts.

the future is looking good for welsh rugby, i look forward to seeing their players being arrested outside mcdonalds in cardiff and pouting with fake tans and dangerous levels of hair product in their fringes.
