Ben Cima is the latest hero of American rugby after his boot proved to be the difference over arch rival Canada in qualifying for the Under 20 Rugby World Cup.
Canada led the crucial encounter by two points into the 79th minute when the USA received a penalty inside their own half.
Cima took his time to line up the 55-metre kick and struck it sweetly to complete the fairytale finish and qualify for the tournament in Zimbabwe which commences on April 19.

There has been two tournaments for a while as there is a big gap in quality in the under 20s. The trophy is for teams that don't qualify for the JWC. The winner gains promotion to the main tournament.

The JWRT has been around for a while. Its first edition was held in Chile back in 2008. The hosts contested the final but lost out to Sth American rival Uruguay. Held in Kenya in 2009. It's for t2/3 nations with the winner gaining promotion to the JWC.

What? Sorry for my ignorance but do we now have 2 junior world championships and why? Or is the 1st for 2nd tier teams?

To win the game after the buzzer. I'd imagine if this were a game of League it would have been exciting, right?
