FFS too many double last names.

Imagine if they had kids! "Robert Riedlinger-Kapa-Akau'ola-Laula". We've got one at our kids school, a four names/three hyphens surname

That should be prohibited. Just imagine having to fill in form. Even with a long last name, you already get into trouble, let alone double or double double last names.

haha

I think this Ozzie team are going to be staring on Smashed Em Bro next week too

[Stargazer]

4 minutes to go.

[Stargazer]

One of the NZ players down.

Apart from an awful scrum we look good. Put clarke, Jordan in the mix. But nth hempisphere teams will be licking lips at out set piece, especially in France.
I might be jumping the gun but Flanders is the best 8 prospect since Read. Maybe he shld be 8 in June series

[Stargazer]

@98blueandgold Haha! Watch the Magpies in the Mitre 10 Cup :winking_face:

[Rapido]

I've only been watching the last 20, with front row subs already on, by gee - our scrum is getting smaaaaaaaashed. Were the starters any better?

[Stargazer]

@rapido Not much better. Locks are our weakest position, I think. Props, the verdict is still out.

[Machpants]

I'm still happy the Kiwi way, teach em rugby first then up size em for the scrums later. I don't care if we lose every U20 JWC from now on, it's all about building for the future

[Stargazer]

Time's up.

[Stargazer]

Oh shut up ref. That was a great NZ scrum.

[Machpants]

And that was a ref call from the bottom drawer

Yeah he's made his mind up before the balls in

[Stargazer]

And now it's a try to the Aussies. That's a present from the ref.

[Machpants]

well done Ozzie only beaten by over two tries, cocky little shits.

[Stargazer]

Full time: NZ 43 - 28 Oz

[Stargazer]

Australia is in the same pool as NZ in the JWC. I'm not afraid.

[98blueandgold]

I wish Farrell wasn't inj. He was top prospect. Maybe Suafoa will be available by then, he is a solid lock.

[cgrant]

Poor last 20 minutes from a NZ point of view : total lack of commitment, miracle passes, possession kicked away, lack of structure in defence, no scrum. Fortunately, the first 60 minutes were very good.

[Stargazer]

The World Rugby U20 Championship start on 31 May, so it won't be long until the squad will be named. It will be interesting to see who will be in and who will miss out.
