    I'm a bit confused. I thought England were the custodians of the scrum. Can someone explain why they are getting smashed? Thanks.

      Meanwhile on the other channel, Wales just blew a try to go up by 3.

      7 mins to go and Italy leads 24-22

        26-7 to NZ after the conversion. 10 minutes to go in this first half.

            Not a great year for tight five talent. Couple of injured props including our best tighthead (Street) and the best lock in this age group is in Argentina with the seniors.

            Men against boys today and could get pretty ugly

              Try Jacobson! Perofeta adds the extras.

              Half time: NZ 40 - 7 England

                Compared to recent NZ U20s sides, this looks quite a bit better. There are a number of standouts, but lovely pass on the 9. It's also nice to see some muscular & athletic forwards (2, 4, 8 )

                  Here's hoping the NZU20s don't let England come back. No repeat of the semi, please!

                    Will this mean Craig Philpott being lured away by a lucrative overseas coaching contract? :man_biking_tone2: :man_biking_tone2:

                        Enari played a few games for the Cantabs last year and looked okay. Has definitely got fitter in the past 6-9 months.

                          Try Josh McKay! Nothing wrong with that one: 45-7 NZ

                            Phew, anywhere will do, as long as it is year round full time. God can you imagine what him and Hammett could do.

                              Perofeta misses the conversion. Not a great boot, but no damage done.

                                      The English defence has been a bit optional at times. With so much easy metres it's hard to read too much into it. We see how these players develop when they have less space and time.

                                        @Billy-Tell True, but their work rate is about 100 times that of the MABs.

                                          The England players just seem to lie all over the ball at every ruck - not being picked up
