Starting first-five-eighth Falcon sustained a concussion in the sides semi-final win over France. A star of the tournament, Falcon and team mate Will Jordan have been nominated for the World Rugby Player of the Tournament award with online voting here http:\/\/rug.by\/U20PlayerOfTheTournament<\/a><\/p>\n

Perofeta, who played in the Blues recent victory over the British and Irish Lions, joined the squad in Georgia on Friday. Alex Mitchell from Taranaki has also joined the squad as a replacement for Ryan Coxon at prop.<\/p>\n

Head Coach Craig Philpott said the team was looking forward to the final.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur young men are excited to add to the legacy of the Black Jersey and perform well in the World Cup Final.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, we have had to rule Tiaan out of the final due to concussion which was really disappointing for both him and our whole squad. Luckily we have an awesome replacement in Stephen who played for the Under 20s last year and brings a wealth of experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe forwards selected have been rewarded for their consistent performances. Our scrum and lineout has been operating at close to 100 percent during the tournament so we need to reproduce that in the final.”<\/p>\n
