TRC U20 - NZ v SA

[Toddy]

Yellow card for SA for a cynical penalty when NZ were almost in.

[Torian]

Stanely solomon has been very good

[Toddy]

Solomon absolutely smashed. Was a great hit.

[Toddy]

NZ get an equaliser. 13 all. Conversion missed

[Toddy]

SA with a penalty but decided to take the tap and kick it out. Weird decision to just take the draw.

[Bovidae]

NZ will be disappointed as we had the better try-scoring chances.

[Bovidae]

It's hard to make too many comparisons to 2023 as the ground conditions were so bad. NZ's subs probably didn't have as much impact as SA's but the signs of improvement are there. Andrew Smith was the pick of the forwards for me.

[Chris]

Hutchinson was really good at FB in difficult conditions.

[Chris]

Lee also very good at 7,Solomon on the wing looked decent as well.
Simpson was very dissapointing
The hooker Basson dropped a lot of ball and his throwing was average.
The 2nd five Taele also looked good.

[Bovidae]

Arg will be a different challenge. They outmuscled Aust and have some huge props, so a dominant scrum. A dry day will help.

[Bovidae]

The Stan broadcast often froze for me.

[NTA]

@Bovidae that happened last time at the same location. It was also miserable weather.

Either the data feed they're using is shit at that location, or their equipment doesn't like rain

[MiketheSnow]

Very good skills in diabolical conditions

Winger will rue showboating for his try. Could easily have gone at least 5m closer to the sticks.
