The New Zealand U19s launched a four-match tour of South Africa with a resounding victory against their Western Province counterparts at the Markotter Stadium in Stellenbosch on Monday.
The New Zealand U19 squad, coached by former All Blacks hooker Mark Hammett, scored 14 tries to beat Western Province U19s 86-0.
The 30-man squad will play three more matches against age-group representative teams from the Sharks, Lions and Leopards.
