The U20s Colonial Cup grand final will be an all-Southern affair with the Knights to take on the Highlanders after the two sides came out winners in their respective semi-final matches at Ratu Cakobau in Nausori on Saturday. The star-studded Highlanders side, which was made up of the core of the national U20s squad, proved too good for the Stallions and came away with four unanswered tries to secure a semi-final berth with a 26-6 victory. The Knights defeated the Crusaders 18-10.
