Leicester Fainga'anuku of New Zealand reacts at the end of the first round match against Georgia. New Zealand's superior ball skills and athleticism were significant factors in them beating Georgia 45-13 in their opening game of the World Rugby under-20 championship in Argentina on Wednesday morning. GETTY IMAGES New Zealand under-20 coach Craig Philpott would have been relieved to see his side easily defeat Georgia 45-13 in Santa Fe. Georgia aimed-up through their big pack, attempting to launch off powerful set pieces or by using runners to attack around the rucks with pick and goes. New Zealand 45 (Taine Plumtree, Kohan Herbert, Dallas McLeod, Leicester Fainga'anuku, Quinn Tupaea, George Dyer, Jeriah Mua tries; Rivez Reihana 6 con) Georgia 13 (Vakhtang Jicharadze try; Tedo Abzhandadze con, 2 pen).
