It's the Bokkies vs Baby Blacks

It is the Dream Final. Hosts South Africa will meet arch rivals New Zealand to determine who will be crowned 2012 IRB Junior World Champions.

The Bokkies advanced to the final after a comprehensive 35-3 drubbing of Argentina in the semifinal at Newlands on Sunday.

The Bay Blacks, who are also the defending champions, gained revenge for the only loss their have suffered in the history of the tournament, when they handed Wales a 30-6 drubbing.

In a performance that will please coach Dawie Theron, the Baby Boks bullied Los Pumitas for the entire game, physically outmatching them up front and beating them for speed out wide.

While the Argentineans had bravery, they never had much to match the clinical execution the Baby Boks had found in their game on Sunday and which will be necessary for the final.

The biggest worry though for the Baby Boks was a host of injuries, which saw them lose, amongst others wing Paul Jordaan in the opening minutes and captain William Small-Smith near the end with potentially bad injuries that may see them miss the final.

In fact, so bad was it at times that the Baby Boks ended the game with two forwards playing in the backline and might want to rethink their team selection ahead of the final on Friday.

But it was almost one-way traffic from the start for the home team.

* The second semifinal allowed the Baby Blacks the chance to set the record straight against Wales, after a shock 6-9 defeat in the rain in their pool clash.

New Zealand started a little shakily going 6-0 behind, but then found their rhythm scoring four tries and 30 unanswered points to seal a convincing win and march into the finals.

The tournament favourites will be difficult to beat will want to follow the example of the senior team, who were crowned world champion last year.

The battle for fifth place in the competition will be contested between France and Ireland, after the two side picked up victories over Australia and England .

It was France's second win over Australia within a week having dispatched them in the pool stages, and again on Sunday thanks to a Thomas Laranjeira drop-goal than sealed the 19-17 win.

Ireland completed their second shock of the competition, having beaten South Africa in their opening fixture, by beating England 27-12 in an impressive three-try performance.

In the ninth-place playoffs Samoa got revenge for their defeat earlier in the tournament to Fiji by beating their Pacific Islands neighbours 29-20, while Scotland picked up a first win in the competition with a convincing 34-17 triumph over Italy.
