2017 New Zealand U20s

[Bovidae]

I remember seeing Papali'i in the no.7 jersey for St Kents.

[Wurzel]

He played 7 for 99% of his school career. It's his natural position

[Stargazer]

Brief interviews with & about some of the players:

[Stargazer]

After one converted try from Jordan and a try from Falcon, NZ leads 15-0 after 15 minutes. Good start. The first try seemed be scored after a forward pass but that wasn' picked up by the officials.

[Stargazer]

Yellow for the French no. 7 after kicking a player in the maul. Could have been more. NZ claim that there was also a punch during the reaction to that kick, but not picked up by the TMO.

Papalii

Try Papalii! Converted by Falcon: 22-0 NZ after 25 minutes.

[Stargazer]

That deserves to be a try, but is it?

[Stargazer]

Nope. No try. Right foot in touch.

[Stargazer]

Probably again in touch and no try?

[Stargazer]

Aumua runs like a wing. Awesome pass from Falcon behind his back and Clarke scores at the left.

Falcon converts: 29-0 NZ after 35 minutes.

[Stargazer]

Half time: NZ 29 - 0 France

Lose is talking shit again. Talking about Falcon going to Lindisfarne HS (it's Lindisfarne College) and him playing for NZ U20s last year. He wasn't in the squad last year ...

[mimic]

French were really happy with winning the stare down

[Stargazer]

Great try Aumua! Conversion by Falcon: 36-0 NZ after 46 minutes.

France goes to the bench with many subs coming on.

[Stargazer]

@mimic Haha, yeah, that worked really well for them!

[Stargazer]

49': First French try after a line-out: 36-5. The conversion is good: 36-7 NZ.

[Stargazer]

Another try to the French in the corner. Going to the bench has worked for them. Arrate converts really well: 36-14 NZ after 53 minutes.

[Stargazer]

Lindenmuth > Fidow

[Stargazer]

Try France. Baby Blacks seem to have switched off already. Not good.

36-19 to NZ after 64 minutes.
