NZ U20 v Australia U20 (World Rugby U20 Championship)

[Victor Meldrew]

Dumb as fuck

[ACT Crusader]

Only a YC.

[ACT Crusader]

7 minutes to go and we have 13 to play out the rest of the match.

[KiwiMurph]

That will be upgraded to red

[ACT Crusader]

Hold the nut properly

[KiwiMurph]

Clark has poor ball skills - noticed it in the 7s too -tries to do way too much

[KiwiMurph]

Rain coming down and Aus spill it

5 to go

[ACT Crusader]

The rain and wind has picked up and we are still trying long passes.

Lakai MOTM announced

Oz score and that’s the ball game.

[Victor Meldrew]

Game over. Not a bad effort considering the red card early on.

[KiwiMurph]

Wonderful Aus try to seal it.

We had many opportunities.

Still don’t understand that scrum call after we won the penalty.

[ACT Crusader]

44-35 OZ

[ACT Crusader]

We have played way too much rugby in the middle of the field for the last 20 minutes instead of getting it down field and applying pressure.

[ACT Crusader]

Just like the Chiefs, poor discipline

[KiwiMurph]

I don't think this NZ team is as talent devoid as feared though - both starting props were excellent

That's the full time score

[NTA]

Well at least we've beaten NZ once this year at something.

Agree. I thought a number of the forwards put their hands up. The play of the backs was the main problem.

@ACT-Crusader

Lakai led well too. That will hold him in good stead.

Ref was weird.
