With two rounds completed, the IRB Under 19 championship is heating up with some big clashes in store over the next few days.


Four of the traditional heavyweights at under 19 level will play on Saturday, with the impressive New Zealand side taking on England
which only narrowly beat Samoa and Argentina in its opening rounds. The young men in black will be riding high on confidence after thrashing Japan 107-6 in their last outing.



The match of the round could possibly be the fixture between the 2006 champions, Australia, and France - who disposed of South Africa 17-8 in round two. The Australians have had to fight for their two victories, edging home 15-10 over hosts Ireland and 23-12 over Fiji, who have so far proved the surprise package of the tournament.
