What time is Wales v Argentina U20s kick-off and is it on TV?

Wales kick off their 2019 World Rugby Under 20 Championship campaign in Argentina today when they come up against the hosts in what's set to be a mouthwatering affair.

Wales find themselves in a demanding group (pool A), alongside hosts Argentina, reigning champions France and Fiji.

Wales U20s coach Gareth Williams has taken a 28-man travelling party to Argentina, with his youngsters looking to take on the world and return home as champions.

Wales' matches take place in Rosario and Santa Fe, while the tournament is being staged between June 4-22.

Here's what you need to know about Wales U20s' opening fixture.
