In a thrilling display of rugby prowess, France delivered a commanding performance against New Zealand in the World Rugby Under-20 Championship semifinal in Cape Town. The defending champions scored an impressive seven tries to secure a 55-31 victory over the six-time champions, New Zealand. Led by standout players such as Joe Quere Karaba, Charly Gambini, and Mathis Ferte, France’s performance was nothing short of spectacular.

New Zealand, known for their strength and experience in the tournament, put up a valiant effort, with players like Dylan Pledger, King Maxwell, and Aki Tuivailala making significant contributions. However, the sheer dominance of the French side led by captain Hugo Reus proved to be too much for the Kiwis to handle. The match showcased the skill and determination of both teams in a highly competitive encounter.

France’s relentless attack and solid defense throughout the game kept New Zealand on the back foot, with Xan Mousques and Ollie Allan adding to the impressive try tally. Despite New Zealand’s efforts, led by players like Rico Simpson and Vernon Bason, France’s strategic play and precision ultimately secured their spot in the championship final.
