Expect the All Blacks to make a few changes to the side that beat Japan.
Australia U20 Form
Australia have had impressive moments during the tournament but ultimately have fallen short.
The Aussies struggled to beat Fiji in their opener, eventually winning 46-37. That was followed by a 30-10 defeat to Ireland.
However, in their final fixture, the baby Wallabies held on to draw 22-22 against England. They were huge underdogs heading into the game so the result will give them a boost.
