2019 under 20's

I guess that Flanders and Toala, the two stand-outs against Fiji, have done enough to earn their spot in the squad for the game against Australia, considering they've not been named in today's match day squad.
The weakest back from the previous game (McLeod) seems to be getting a second chance by starting again.
Clarke, Nanai-Setura and Proctor have clearly not been released by their SR franchise.
I wonder who covers 10 in case Reihana goes down?
@Stargazer there is clear footage of what Clarke, Nanai-Setura and Proctor can do so I assume in terms of releasing them they mean for the actual World Cup, not this tournament as they already know what they are getting.

Our scrum is sh&t.
Wasn't this the U20s where they picked fatties to do core roles?
Having said that, one thing I've noticed watching Japanese kids training at school; they're very drill focused honing skills to do them well.

@antipodean Yep, the scrum was one of the things they focused on during the preparations for this tournament. Our scrum went well against Fiji, but not today.
-
That's an awesome try.
@antipodean Yeah, looked awesome. But frustrating from a NZ pov.
-
Good hard running from the NZ centre and off load to the inside running openside in support.
It's going to be that size and strength that makes this contest predictable.
-
Brilliant individual try from the second five-eighth. Chip and chase.
-
No way the fullback was onside.
-
Only about 2 metres offside
