2017 New Zealand U20s

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.

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 ...

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.

Lindenmuth > Fidow

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

36-19 to NZ after 64 minutes.

[Stargazer]

Great attack from the French, resulting in a try to their right wing: 36-24. The French bench has had a real impact, but NZ defence inadequate there.

The try has been converted: 36-26 to NZ with 10 minutes to go. Baby Blacks need to play better.

[Stargazer]

Penalty goal Falcon, who has kicked 6 from 7 tonight.

NZ 39-26 France with 3 minutes to go.

[Stargazer]

The French left winger is playing really well this half. Where was he in the first?

[Stargazer]

Full time: NZ 39 - 26 France

NZ will play England in the Final!

[mimic]

Tian must be cursed whenever I watch his games..
Every time I watch him play he looks poor.. good kicking though

[Stargazer]

@mimic What are you talking about? He had a very good game! He dropped one ball and got held up in a maul, but that was it. Excellent ball distribution, passing and kicks in play, and a great boot. Also scored a try.

[Bovidae]

I think the 2nd half struggles will be a good thing preparing for the final.

NZ need to work on discipline and defending mauls/lineout drives.

[mimic]

I missed the whole first half..
In the little bits I watched he knocked the ball on twice (got called once), and he got held up, and then he slipped when going for a run.. but like I said, every time I tune in to watch he always makes an error.. maybe I shouldn't watch the final

His goal kicking and kicking for touch was great

[Stargazer]

@mimic Sounds like you only saw the errors and didn't see the good stuff. He had a good game with just those few errors. Hardly a reason to say he didn't play well.
