@Stargazer Interesting Welsh side.

No. 3 might be a bit unmotivated.

No. 15 Worries me though.

U20 6N and academy systems over there are going to make this an interesting tournament

lol me too!

Has the youtube stream been converted to the wrong frame rate? It's 30fps, and is probably being captured at 25fps. It looks very jerky.

@KiwiMurph Wales doesn't have a strong scrum to be fair, struggled a fair bit in the 6N.
