Thirty two games down and eight to go. After 15 days of blood, sweat and tears, the Junior World Championship has reached the final straight.
Top seeds New Zealand and sixth seeds England will contest the final at the Liberty Stadium in Swansea on Sunday (7pm) after coming through their respective semi finals in midweek.
New Zealand, who have scored 204 points in their four games to date, will start as rather warm favourites against an England side who have defied their ranking to see off Australia and South Africa along the way.
Nigel Redman's side have shown pace and power throughout the pool stages and semi final game against the young Springboks with Joe Simpson, Miles Benjamin and Hugo Ellis leading from the front.
However, with captain Chris Smith leading a New Zealand side that boasts senior Super 14 players in Zach Guildford, Sean Maitland, Kade Poki and Masi Manu, it will, without doubt, provide England with their toughest challenge so far.
Wales will be hoping to use home advantage once again when they aim to outgun South Africa in Swansea (Sunday, 5pm) to finish third. Coach Patrick Horgan has been monitoring his injured troops since Wednesday's bruising semi final against the All Blacks and will be asking for one more heroic performance against last season's Under 19 runners up.
Despite going down 31-6 at Rodney Parade, the hosts were combative and competitive and displayed a defensive strength which they will need against the Springboks. Horgan said, "Obviously it was disappointing to have missed out on a place in the final, but we will certainly be looking to sign off with a victory on Sunday."
The race for fifth place unfolds at Cardiff Arms Park (Sunday, 3pm) where the highly fancied Australians are aiming to put behind them the disappointment of losing out to England in their final pool game at Newport. France, who lost out to Wales in their deciding pool game provide the opposition.
Argentina and Samoa meet in Newport for 7th place (Sunday, 3pm) whilst it's an all Celtic affair in the battle for ninth place - Ireland and Scotland come together at Rodney Parade in Newport (Sunday, 1pm) after reaching their play off final via the back door.
Scotland needed extra time to edge out Canada whilst Ireland were overtime winners against the Italians in Cardiff.
Italy and Canada are the sides battling it out for 11th place, in Cardiff (Sunday, 1pm), whilst on Saturday in Wrexham Fiji and Tonga meet in the 13th place play off (5pm) and at the same venue USA and Japan contest 15th place (7pm) with the losers facing possible relegation to next year's Junior World Trophy.
Matches at the Arms Park on Sunday 22nd June are:
1pm - Australia Vs. France
3pm - Italy Vs. Canada
