Wrampling was the captain to start the game. The U20s started fast and led 21-0 in quick time before the Harlequins got into the game and scored some good tries of their own. Their first was by Naholo from a cross-kick. He had been caught from behind just a few minutes earlier with the goal line in sight. Went off injured not long after that.

Sounds very typical of him. Hopefully it isn't too bad.

Nice play from NZ U20 12 Corey Evans there, has some size.

Tim

U20 backline looks slick.

Tim

Beautiful offload from Fihaki.

Zach Gallagher is big.

Yep

Edit
Romano likely to take on a mentoring role for the forwards.

Stargazer

@chris Having seen/heard him talk during team trainings (on instagram), he could become an excellent coach.

Stargazer

It's a pity the NZ U20s don't get to play the Aussies. The Junior Wallabies' tight five were stronger and better than ours the last few years. I'd love to know how this crop of youngsters compares to theirs.

Tim

Nice tackle on Evans, spills the ball.

Stargazer

Great work from Lord there. SR experience showing.

HT: NZ U20 26 - 0 Ta$man Mako HP XV

Stargazer

Injury break for TK Howden.

Glad the Mako XV started playing well after the first 20 minutes. NZU20s have only been able to score one more try since then.

They won't learn a thing from playing sides that roll over too easily.

Stargazer

Good well-deserved try to Timoci Tavatavanaway for the Mako.

Stargazer

Hmmm, looked like a late tackle from Wrampling?

The Mako player not looking good. Can't see who it is. Has to be stretchered off.

Edit: It's Isaac Salmon. Leg or foot injury.

Monu Moli comes on.

Stargazer

No penalty or card, apparently.
