Battling Wales stun Baby Blacks

17/06/2019

Wales Under-20 held their nerve to record a famous and dramatic 8-7 victory over New Zealand at the World Rugby Under 20 Championship in Rosario, Argentina on Monday afternoon.

Fly half Cai Evans landed a penalty at the death to beat the Baby Blacks for only the second time and take Wales into the fifth place play-off.

Tiaan Thomas-Wheeler’s opportunistic score gave Wales the edge before the game was delayed for an hour due to an electrical storm overhead.

Tupou Va’ai looked to have snatched it for New Zealand when he crashed over nine minutes from time, but Evans kicked Wales to an historic result.

Congratulations to Wales and our Dragons - including Lennon Greggains, Dafydd Buckland and Deon Smith who all started the game - who were involved in the epic encounter.
