The New Zealand under 20 rugby team are the newest representative rugby union team from New Zealand. They replace the two former age grade teams Under 19's and Under 21's. Their first tournament was the 2008 IRB Junior World Championship, which they won after defeating England 383 in the final.[1] They have gone on to also win the 2009, 2010 and 2011 IRB Junior World Championships. The team have been nicknamed the "Baby Blacks" after the youthful All Blacks side which played in 1986.
