France U20 looked vulnerable to SA’s brute strength but I reckon they can beat our U20s.

Feeling sad

Not very often I would give up on a Nz side with a 10-0 score line,

But they are done .... off to work for me

[Stargazer]

Now the French pack demolishes our scrum.

@billy-tell Roe hasn't been bad. They should bring Trask on at first five-eight and move Plummer to 12.

No threat round the fringes roe

[Stargazer]

Oh, shit, please no injury to Flanders. He's been one of the best on defence.

[Billy Tell]

NZ scrum turned into a smoothie.

[Stag]

This under 20 team is just simply not a particularly good team

[Stargazer]

Another penalty kick, but this time Carbonel misses.

It's still 0 -13 to France after 53 minutes.

[Stargazer]

Philpott is reading the Fern!

[SammyC]

First game I've seen this tournament, Plummer not living up to the hype.

Our forwards are soft

[Stargazer]

Well, at least the Frenchies have no reason to complain about the officiating.

[Billy Tell]

Plummer is the weak link. Just shovels the ball along.

[allblacksfan72]

@stargazer looks like we badly missing the likes of faainganuku and will Jordan

[Stargazer]

Now, who has the best bench?

ref is pretty good IMO.

[Stargazer]

@tordah He's okay.

[Stargazer]

Uluilakepa on for Mafileo.

Koroi not looking well. Knee?

[Stargazer]

Renton has also replaced Roe.

[Billy Tell]

We need to play territory and bring up fast the chasing line. Not going to go end to end against this French team.

[Stargazer]

Pfew, I was expecting Renton to be sent off for stomping. French were milking it. TMO involved; penalty only. His foot didn't touch the French head.
