Australia national under-21 rugby union team
The Australian national under-21 rugby union team formerly represented Australia on a national level in age graded rugby union. The team competed at the Under 21 Rugby World Championship, and featured in three championship finals, though they never won the event, losing to South Africa in 2002, New Zealand in 2003 and South Africa again in 2005. Australia finished in fourth place at the final under-21 world championship, held in France in 2006.
In 2008, the International Rugby Board scrapped its under-21 and under-19 world championships in favour of a single under-20 competition, the IRB Junior World Championship. Australia accordingly replaced its under-21 and under-19 sides with a new under-20 side.

gollark: It doesn't seem to be in the debian repos.
gollark: I have an ethics machine which makes any decision I make objectively ethical.
gollark: While I believe the set of people who knows my views is well-defined, I don't know who's in it.
gollark: You don't know my views. NOBODY knows my views. Except those who know my views, and I think they're quite knowable.
gollark: Fascinating. However, I own testbot, and testbot owns an infinite amount of ethics bees.
