    The pools look fairly even with Japan (in NZ's pool) probably the weakest of the lowest ranked teams.

          I missed the games against Aussie a few weeks ago. Does this look like the top xv?

            It's close to the team that played the second game vs Aust. Lauaki and Stodart come into the starting XV, and neither were involved in those games. The surprise to me is the midfield duo, who I wouldn't have picked based on the wider training squad. I've seen a lot of Aki Tuivailala play, but he wasn't in that group, and is in his first year out of school. It's the forwards that will need to front up.

              Was the set piece the problem, like previous u20 sides? Or were they beaten in general play too?

                @Duluth Mostly the scrum. Maybe line-out mauls, too, but I can't quite remember. Our scrum going backwards was awful.

                  @Duluth

                  Think MP in SR for the scrums vs Aust.

                  Lauaki now starts, but he had some issues for the NZ U19s in SA last year.

                        @Stargazer Interesting Welsh side.

                        No. 3 might be a bit unmotivated.
                        No. 5 a bit inexperienced?
                        No. 8 I reckon we can break their lineout codes.
                        No. 11 I suspect they have a problem.
                        No. 15 Worries me though.
