2017 NZ Schools

[Bovidae]

Too individualistic in the 1st half, and NZ needs to cut out those miracle passes and build some phases.

[Bovidae]

The other thing is that the ref is really liberal at the breakdown. Players going off their feet and sealing off appears to be the norm. That should suit NZ as the game will flow.

[Nepia]

FYI Oz based Ferners - this is on Fox Sports 501.

[Stargazer]

Lucky that the Aussie right wing was so far away; very fast lad! Try Nanai under the sticks; converted.

[Stargazer]

Geez, that was a high tackle on Flanders. Not penalised.

@stargazer id be tempted to bring him on at 15 and shift Nanai to 14. Naholo has been poor so far.

Looks like the coach has read your post and took your advice!

Haha hope it works! So far it has.

[Stargazer]

McClutchie on for Reihana.

[Nepia]

Damn, the skinniest prop in the world scores out wide for the Aussies.

[KiwiMurph]

Aus dominating the lineouts. Beautiful try Australia. The game is really opening up.

[Nepia]

NZ might have missed out on a try there - looked to be over the line.

Nice break out from Oz.

[Stargazer]

Lucky McClutchie could tackle that Aussie wing, or it would have been a try. That 14 is fast.

Now a nasty high tackle on Faingaanuku; yellow card.

[Crazy Horse]

NZ lineout doing a great job helping Aussie stay in the game

[KiwiMurph]

Aus scramble defence has been unbelievable!

[Stargazer]

Great try Faingaanuku, who's making the Mako$ sign!

Drew Mitchell calls it the rooster haha

[Stargazer]

Didn't know that in school rugby, if a forward is in the bin, the opposing team also has to scrum with 7 players.

[Stargazer]

Although he missed the conversion, Toala has already had a huge impact in the 2nd half.

[Stargazer]

Try McClutchie!!

[chchfanatic]

How is the Aussie lock nick frost going. Heard a wee rumour he might be moving to nz
