09.05.2008 - Tipuric in Wales U20 Junior World Championship Squad

 
Aberavon back row Justin Tipuric (pictured left) has been named in the 26-man Wales U20 squad for the forthcoming IRB Junior World Championship, to be staged in Wales next month (June 6th-22nd 2008).

Wales U20 are No.4 seeds for the tournament after reaching the semi-finals of last season's IRB Under 19 World Championship and will face France U20, Italy U20 and Japan U20 in the Swansea-based Pool D when the tournament kicks-off in one month's time. The new-look Under 20 tournament replaces both the IRB Under 19 and Under 21 World Championships.

Wales U20 will play their Pool matches at the Liberty Stadium, starting with Italy on June 6th, followed by Japan U20 on June 10th and France U20 on June 14th in a bid to reach the last four.
