The IRB Junior World Championships are underway in New Zealand.
Rugby-Talk will update the Results and Logs on a regular basis.
The Tournament started on 2 June 2014 and will run till 20 June 2014.
The Big winner in Round 2, on Friday 6 June was South Africa’s Junior Springboks, who beat the Junior All Blacks in their backyard, by 33 / 24. The Junior Springboks scored 4 tries to boot, earning them a vital bonus point going forward, whilst the Junior All Blacks earned no Log Points at all, making it an uphill battle for them to even reach the semi-finals, as only one 2nd placed team in all Pools will go through to the semi-finals with the 3 respective Pool winners.
Day 3 of the tournament is on Tuesday 10 June.
Here are the Results of Round 1 & 2:

Great result for the Junior Springboks!
Also great results for England who beat the Junior Wallabies by 38 / 24 and Ireland who beat Wales by 35 / 21.
France beat Fiji by 37 / 5 to top their Pool.
In the semi-finals seed-1 plays seed-4 and seed-2 plays seed-3.
As it stands now England is seed-1, SA is seed-2, France is seed-3 and Ireland is seed-4.
France still has to play Wales, and Ireland to play Fiji. The outcome of these two matches will decide the fate of NZ.
