Oceania U20 - NZ vs Fiji

[Stargazer]

Geez, that commentator was right with his comment that these Fijians are big.

[Stargazer]

Good try from Springer in the left corner. Miller misses the conversion.

5-0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Miller misses the 2nd penalty from right in front. Is there another kicker in the 23?

[Grooter]

@Stargazer Hurley, although Kicking off the tee is usually cams strength

[Stargazer]

Knocked on by Fabian Holland, but it was nice attack.

[Stargazer]

Miller doesn't miss the 3rd penalty from a shorter distance and in front.

8 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Great try to Vikena, who manages to score despite 3 big Fijians trying to tackle him.

Miller converts.

15 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Nice break from Noah Hotham who makes a break from NZ's own half and scores without any Fijians in sight.

Miller's kick is good.

22 - 0 NZ

Future Crusader Noah Hotham scores. This sucks watching how good he is.

You boys should sign Hurley and Michael’s they both look decent.
Both in the Landers system.

[Stargazer]

The weather may have something to do with it, but we're conceding too many turnovers.

[Grooter]

It sucks not having spark to watch but at least Stargazer is providing updates on the future greats of our country

[Stargazer]

Fiji win a scrum penalty and go for a shot at goal. From 53m.

Tremain Little almost nails it, but it goes under the cross bar.

22 - 0 NZ

[Chris]

Some good looking talent in the NZ side
Hooker Bell
TH Laukui
Lock Cahill
Open side Michaels
No.8 Laki
HB Hotham
Both wings Springer and Vikena
FB Hurley

All look good

[Stargazer]

That's the half time score.

Unlike games against Fiji in the past, it doesn't look like a try fest. Yet. Wait and see what the second half brings.

In the first half, I think Bell and Michaels were the stand-outs in the pack. Stand-outs in the backs are harder to pick, maybe Hotham, Te Hiwi and Hurley? Springer and Vikena good, too.

Vikena great try and got through a power of work.

@Chris Ha, I just edited my post.

[Stargazer]

Ouch, is Hurley still alive? Flattened by a big Fijian.

TMO now looking for foul play.

[Stargazer]

Ah f*ck. Screen goes black.
