Smashed em bro...

Picture
New Zealand: 64 (Asafo Aumua 3, Luke Jacobson 2, Dalton Papali’i, Pouri Rakete-Stones, Isaia Walker-Leawere, Josh McKay, Tom Christie; Stephen Perofeta 7 con) England:17 (Ben Earl, Alex Mitchell, Josh Bayliss tries; Max Mailns 1 con)

New Zealand has won the World Rugby Under-20 Championship for the sixth time demolishing England by a record 64-17 in the final.

New Zealand’s victory eclipsed the 62-17 triumph over Australia in 2010 and hooker Asafo Aumua emulated Telusa Veainu’s feat of scoring a hat-trick in the decider.

New Zealand’s power, pace and skill completely overwhelmed the 2016 winners who were down 40-7 at halftime.

New Zealand set the tone in the fourth minute when they pilfered a tight head inside the English 22. A succession of authoritative pick and goes followed and flanker Dalton Papali’i leaped over a ruck for the first try.

England frequently missed one on one tackles as New Zealand was able to ignite their offloading game. Prop Pouri Rakete-Stones powered over for a second try in the 10th minute.

England threatened a resurgence when flanker Ben Earl galloped away from a well-timed Max Mailns pass, but New Zealand was quick to reassume control.

In the 25th minute fullback Will Jordan went flying through filmsy defence, only to stumble short of the line. New Zealand swiftly sent the ball wide and Aumua bumped off the fullback to collect his first.

Three minutes later Jordan and Aumua combined again in a 50-metre surge and lock Isiah Walker-Leawere profited. Aumua blasted over again in the 38th minute and wing Caleb Clarke barrelled aside two defenders and overloaded on the ground to skipper Luke Jacobson to complete the first-half massacre.

Predictably New Zealand lacked the same verve in the second-half, but still produced some awe-inspiring rugby. Aumua had a hand in New Zealand’s seventh try when he burst 20-metres from a lineout and recycled promptly for flatmates Jordan and Josh McKay to finish an overlap.

The rampaging hooker then brought up the half century with a Lomu like run 10-meters from the English line. New Zealand played ten minutes with 14 men when prop Ezekiel Lindenmuth was yellow carded for a late tackle in the 46th minute.

New Zealand left plenty of points on the field. First-Five Stephen Perofeta missed five kicks and in the seventh minute bombed a try when he broke 70-metres swatting aside all three English front rowers, but failed to release to unmarked support.

In the 13th minute Jordan made a spectacular catch in traffic and broke to the English 22. From the next ruck Perofeta cross-kicked for Orbyn Ledger who dropped the ball with a clear run to the line. Nine minutes later a bullet pass by Enari to Tima Faingaanuku set the winger free who after a 20-metre dash fumbled perilously short of the chalk.
