    This ref is colour blind. He can't see Irish players offside, nor tackling players who don't have the ball.

    Is this the same clown that teamed up with Veldsman to make a mockery of last week's Super Rugby?

      Oh, c'mon. That wasn't forward.
      Edit: it was forward. No hat-trick for Jordan.

      Agreed.
      Flat at worst.

      The ref asked for a reason NOT to award it, so the TMO says "pass was clearly forward"
      bullshit

                        I've seen plenty of colts make those kicks. The rest of his game is excellent. but his kicking today has been dreadful.

                          "106 carries, 854 meters, that's an average of 100 meters a carry. Or just over."

                          The genius of the Irish commentator.

                            @antipodean Good on them! Falcon usually makes them, too. Sometimes a player has a day that the boot isn't that good. Ask Barrett, Cruden and others.

                              Baby Blacks lock (4) looks like a future star. Carries strongly and some neat handling skills

                                  Weird to say, but I think the scoreline flatters Ireland quite a bit.

                                    11 tries to nil. Baby Blacks look very good against poor opposition.

                                    South Africa did the same to Argentina.

                                      Great defence from the Baby Blacks, even against the line-out drive. Attack was very good, too. Too many good players to name.

                                        England will have to beat Australia by 62 points to top the differential.

                                          Does anyone know whether stats on these U20s games are published somewhere? Match "reports" on the WR website only record line-ups, tries, penalties and conversions. I'd be interested to see more stats.
