The Australia national under-20 rugby union team , nicknamed the Junior Wallabies , is the national under-20 rugby union team that represents Australia. The team has been competing at the annual World Rugby U20 Championship since it began in 2008, replacing the previously held under-19 and under-21 championships. The team also competes at the Oceania U20 Championship as of 2015 and the U20 Rugby Championship since 2024 .
Australia's highest finish at the World Rugby U20 Championship was second-place in 2010 [1] [2] 2019 . The team finished third in 2011 by beating France in the third place playoff,[3] 2009 after losing to South Africa 32–5 in the third place playoff.[4] 2019 after defeating New Zealand 24–0.[5] [6] [7]
Team name [ edit ]
The Junior Wallabies name was incorporated into the Australian under-20 crest prior to the 2018 season, but the name was also previously applied to several other teams in the history of Australian rugby.[8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] Australian under-19 side,[14] Australian Schoolboys ,[15] [16] [17] [18]
