The New Zealand Men\u2019s U20 team has been named for their final match of the Under 20 Rugby Championship, where they will play hosts South Africa in Gqerberha, Port Elizabeth.<\/p>\n
Head Coach Kane Jury has made nine personnel changes to the team that started the second match of the tournament and a further six in the reserves.<\/p>\n
Two positional changes to the starting fifteen see loose forward Finn McLeod move from No.8 to blindside flanker and Oliver Guerin shifts from centre back to the right wing.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
In the forward pack, there are five changes to the starting line-up. Henry Stuart and Dane Johnston named at loosehead and tighthead prop respectively, Max Fale at lock, Caleb Woodley at openside and Patrick Mauga starting in the No.8 jersey.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the backs, Logan Williams is selected to start on the left wing and Siale Pahulu at centre, completing the changes to the starting line-up.<\/p>\n
The New Zealand U20s opened their defence of the Under 20 Rugby Championship title with a 34-29 win over Australia, before losing 25-17 to Argentina. They need to beat South Africa to have a chance of retaining the title, while denying the host nation a bonus point.\u00a0<\/p>\n
