THE South African Under 19 rugby team got their 1999 IRB/Fira Junior World Championship campaign off to a winning start on Wednesday night in Newport, Wales, with a hard fought 17-12 victory over Newport Juniors. Wing Jacques Booysen, centre Jean de Villiers and lock Louis Holtzhausen scored the sides’ tries while talented flyhalf Daniel Philander landed one conversion. The under 19s play Uruguay on Friday and if they win they will see a probable quarterfinal match against the highly rated French team on Monday.
