2023 New Zealand U20s

[Bovidae]

A couple of the Chiefs U20 players (Cody Nordstrom, Fiti Sa) who were listed as injured, therefore not available for selection, are playing club rugby tomorrow, so their injuries can't have been too serious.

They've finally updated the photos for the player profiles of the current squad, well most of them, but still no information about DOB, height, weight etc. Lazy.

@Bovidae if you go to the following link it’s got all information for every player in NZ including some who are playing overseas now, aswell as all the current Under 20s. Stats seem pretty accurate:

@Canes4life I was referring to the official website.

Which beggars belief because you'd think that would be part of day one; taking measurement.

I just discovered that the NZ U20s played a warm-up match in South Africa against the Pumitas (Argentina). NZR kept that quiet! Argentina on the other hand announced their team line-up for that game and livescored the game on Twitter. They played two periods of 30 minutes and one of 20 minutes.

Anyway, the NZ U20s won that game 59-21.

Argentina have completed their preparations for the 2023 Junior World Championship. Los Pumitas faced New Zealand in South Africa. The match was the final hit-out before Argentina face Italy on Saturday, June 24.

New Zealand were worthy winners over Argentina. Playing at a high pace, New Zealand completed a 59-21 victory. Argentina scored three tries in the match. All were scored by Super Rugby Americas players – Tomás Bartolini, Faustino Sánchez Valarolo and Valentino Minoyetti. Fellow SRA players Juan Baronio landed two conversions and Valentino Dicapua one.

I love that they advertise these jobs on seek and don't have their own system with all the rugby coaches in New Zealand.
