NZ U20 v Japan U20 (World Rugby U20 Championship)

[KiwiMurph]

@Stargazer hard to believe he's a 10 with that hogging

[Stargazer]

Another knock-on from Taylor.

@KiwiMurph said in NZ U20 v Japan U20 (World Rugby U20 Championship):

@Victor-Meldrew I wouldn't overreact

Maybe, but pretty unimpressive in the 3 games I've watched. Some good talent like Cahill & Godfrey coming thru though

[Stargazer]

Weird try, but we'll take it. Who was it?

[KiwiMurph]

@Stargazer I believe the openside Sam Hainsworth-Fa’aofo

[Stargazer]

@KiwiMurph Yep. Defintely not Cahill.

[KiwiMurph]

Hotham and Springer combining well

[Stargazer]

Great how Springer kept the ball in the field of play.
Also love the urgency they're playing with.

[KiwiMurph]

Wonderful NZ try

[Stargazer]

The second quarter was much, much better.

HT: New Zealand 38 - 12 Japan

[Stargazer]

Still 41 points needed without conceding points.

[Stargazer]

Japan knocked the ball on; not spotted by the officials.

[Stargazer]

It doesn't matter in the end. Try Hutchinson.

[Stargazer]

I hate this new rule where they can still go back a few phases after the try has been converted.
Try disallowed.

[Stargazer]

Try Kemara. 43 - 12 NZ

36 points to go

[Stargazer]

Kemara is really rocks and diamonds.

[Stargazer]

Another NZ try disallowed because of a knock-on.

[Stargazer]

Vai, Gordon & Flanders are on the field.

[Stargazer]

Allen on for Cahill.

[Victor Meldrew]

This is way too scrappy - need some more points to ensure we get out of the pool stage
