Coincidentally Australia’s only previous appearance in an U20 Championship final came nine years ago, when the tournament was last held in Argentina’s third-largest city.

On that occasion a Junior Wallabies side featuring the likes of Matt To'omua and Liam Gill were resoundingly beaten by New Zealand, who like France this year were defending champions, but McReight is confident Australia can become the fifth team to etch their name on the distinctive trophy.

Australia captain Fraser McReight is determined to make history when the Junior Wallabies take on defending champions France in the U20 Championship final.

McReight will become only the second Australian to captain his country in the showpiece game – after Jake Schatz – when he leads the Junior Wallabies onto the Racecourse Stadium pitch on tonight.

A very good evening, I am Usie and I have the pleasure to bring you this game this evening between Australia and France. Its the Final of the U20 World Rugby Championships.

France will bid to become only the third team to successfully defend the World Rugby U20 Championship when they face Australia in the 2019 final in Rosario on Saturday.

Les Bleuets earned their place in the title decider with an impressive semi-final win over South Africa last Monday but they have it all to do at the Racecourse Stadium if they are to overcome a hungry Australia side.

The Junior Wallabies have never lifted the U20 Championship trophy but head into the showpiece match full of confidence having also reached the final the last time the tournament was held in Argentina back in 2010.
