@NTA Australia are the experts, Saffers dont make the top 13.

Not sure if you're trying to connect roids to a lack of diet management?

[OomPB]

@NTA Nah biltong diet.

[Bovidae]

No Mathis or Oudenryn.

@Fredsaua12 Riley Tofilau must be injured as he was in the RC squad and Mafi now picked over him

[Bovidae]

A big game for both teams, especially England.

Highlanders have posted Josh Tengblad is back with the squad in Italy.

This is good news as the current locks in the squad are not very tall but I must admit that the lineout functioned rather well. The main problems are a very weak scrum, lack of comitment in the rucks which leads to numerous turnovers and losses of continuity in attack.

What am I missing with the plethora of vice captains?

More VCs?

There were different VCs in the Georgia game.

[OomPB]

Bokkies thrash Scotland and should get the loser of France vs Argentina. Both need 1 point to qualify. If not it will probably England.

[Kiwidom]

Halftime NZ 31 Ireland 15 . Winner goes through to semi final

[JayCee]

Cole has some good distance in his kicks.

It finished 69-22 to New Zealand Under 20s so they advance to the Semi Finals.

[kiwiinmelb]

Watched highlights of our games but not much of the other teams,

How do we look overall in comparison to other sides, are we a genuine chance to win this ?

[sparky]

@kiwiinmelb South Africa and France look different gravy. NZ is likely to finish 3rd behind those two.

[Steven Harris]

@sparky Does the South African team that played in the Rugby championship have the same personnel that have rocked up for this tournament?
Been some turn around if that’s the case

[Daffy Jaffy]

If you can, watch the last 10 mins of Italy v Georgia. Rugby drama, heroics and madness of the highest order. Georgia's captain was sent off in the 12th min, then they played with 12 players for 10 mins after 2 yellow's.

[Kiwidom]

The semis on Sunday are : :
South Africa (1st) v Argentina (4th)
France (2nd) v New Zealand (3rd)
