The inaccuracy of the NZ Schools team is frustrating, it's like they were deliberately trying not to score a try.

Excellent kick.

If there's a lot of wind, you have to adjust. Players aren't doing that and continue with those long passes.

Stargazer

That was great!

Stargazer

Running away with it now.

What a difference it makes, when passes stick!

Good workrate of the boys in black. They're working for each other.

Stargazer

A much better second half.

Full time score:

Australia U18 3 - 34 NZ Schools

Stargazer

Why are they presenting a trans-tasman cup with one more test to play? Wouldn't it make more sense to present it to the overall winner after the second test?

Or is it on the line in every test, so it could change hands if the win goes the other way on Monday?

I do like the look of Simpson as he has some size for a 1st 5.

Mathis' speed and strength was on display in the 2nd half. I've seen plenty of him playing and he is as quick as most wingers.

Top right must be Ardie, trying to look taller with all that hair.
