    @Dan54 Yeah, that tech will never work correctly - too many variables.

      Yep some of that might slow the game down not speed it up,Lineout throws are one of those do we have any that are 100% accurate ?.
      Nearly every line out may get blown up by the ref.

        I would hope there is a tolerance.
        I think that if the ref gets a beep in the ear to confirm a not straight throw (outside of tolerance), that will cut out a lot of argument. We do see a lot missed even at the top level.

            Has anyone in Wellington had a sneaky look at their training camp? The first test vs Aust is on Monday.

            Obviously Hotham won't be involved.

                Weird that there's been no announcement of a NZ side for this game considering it's tomorrow.

                  Strong side, good blend of U20’s last year and the U19’s who toured South Africa. A good number of Super players too. It’ll great to see how we fare against the Euro countries and SA.

                      No news about the NZ team so far. Maybe tomorrow morning.

                        I haven't seen a team line-up, but today's game will be livestreamed (two streams).
                        From the NZCIS Facebook page:

                        New Zealand :new_zealand: U20s v Australia :australia: U20s
                        🏉 🏉 🏉 🏉 🏉 🏉 🏉 🏉 🏉 🏉 🏉
                        Monday 29th May - 2pm @ NZCIS Field #1.

                        STREAM 📺 Two options:

                        1️⃣ Select the Self Tracking for a general view

                        2️⃣ Select the Breakdown Cam to get up close

                        💡 Hack: if you want both views, open 2 windows in your browser.

                        ❗️Apologies: No commentary or scorecards this time around.

                            You would think there will be some rotation of players over these two games to give everyone an opportunity to play and impress.

                              @Bovidae you'd think they would select their preferred 23 for the game on Saturday, with it being televised.

                                I'd love to know why it's only two games v Australia. Why not invite the Argies again? They were really good, last year, finishing ahead of the Junior Wallabies. With Fiji as the fourth team.

                                  Only information about the team has come from Wellington rugby.

                                  Dominic Ropeti starting at lock, Peter Lakai starting at 8, and Bradley Chrichton to come off the bench.

                                  Other team info is unknown.

                                    Ropeti wasn't in the initial wider training squad so there must be at least two locks injured.

                                      I understand Finn Hurley is also with the squad again. I think Paul Dwywr mentioned it in an ODT video

                                        The squad named in April had plenty of fullback cover:

                                          It is a bit unpleasant in Lower Hutt at the moment. Suspect it is the same up the road
