U20 Championship - NZ v Wales

[Stargazer]

I wish they'd put Godfrey at 10.

The Welsh hooker will be having nightmares about that fumble for weeks.

[Victor Meldrew]

Wales v NZ is turning into a good game. Wales mullered 2 tries but playing really well. Peter Lakai having a good 1st half. 5-12 to Wales

[KiwiMurph]

NZ pushing way too many passes and Wales smartly are taking advantage

[Tim]

@KiwiMurph That looked like sevens when that speculator was thrown.

[MiketheSnow]

Two missed opportunities for us

Could rue that

[Tim]

Byron Smith playing club rugby this weekend. Blues U20 player of the year, and winner of the NZ franchise tournament. Got to be better than this 10.

[MiketheSnow]

Our new prop did the business there

[KiwiMurph]

@Tim I wonder if he is eligible. I'm pretty sure he's an Aussie.

[Tim]

There is a French stream that has the correct frame rate. The youtube stream from WR is awful.

[MiketheSnow]

Another great try

[Tim]

@KiwiMurph Does that matter at this level?

[KiwiMurph]

@Tim good question

[Tim]

Embarrassing defence. Tangitau should stick with sevens.

[Stargazer]

@Tim Not sure how it works, but Folau Fakatava wasn't allowed to play for NZ U20, was he?

[Victor Meldrew]

@Tim

The one from the IRB website is good.

Passive D which is not unusual for an NZ team.

We are being outclassed by supposedly the worst team in the 6 Nations. What's happening to our rugby?

[Tim]

@Victor-Meldrew Cheers!

Other countries are developing better players - probably a better overall strategy as well.

@Victor-Meldrew Yeah, that stream is at 25fps. It's the correct frame rate.
