Watch: Baby Blacks skipper scores ridiculous try while being dragged into touch as 14-man NZ thump Fiji

May 2, 2018

New Zealand under 20s powered their way to a 55-15 win over Fiji last night in their Oceania Rugby fixture at Bond University on the Gold Coast.

The Kiwis side led the Fijians 15-3 at the break.

New Zealand's centre Billy Proctor was red carded in the 19th minute for a dangerous lifting tackle on his opposite Ilikena Vudogo.

Reduced to 14 men with 60 minutes the Baby Blacks opted to throw the ball around more in the second spell chancing their arm and scored six tries.

Fiji scored two tries in the second half but New Zealand's skipper Harry Plummer had the last say scoring an impressive try, grounding the ball while being dragged into touch by two Fijian defenders.

New Zealand take on arch rivals the Junior Wallabies next on Saturday with both sides unbeaten so far in the tournament.
