2018 New Zealand U20s

[Stargazer]

These commentators have been so shit. Only mentioned the Aussie subs, not the NZ ones.

[Stargazer]

Punivai has come on; not sure who has gone off.

[Stargazer]

Awesome tackle from Flynn Thomas.

[Machpants]

There's some good Hopperesque hair flickers on the Ozzie team

[Tordah]

Commentators are annoying, they're talking as if one of the Aussie kids got shot straight out of their nutsacks. Cheerleading more than anything.

[Stargazer]

It looks like John Akau'ola-Laula has replaced Waimana Riedlinger-Kapa.

[Stargazer]

FFS too many double last names.

[Stargazer]

Flanders never seems to get tired. I think this is his 3rd 80-minute game!

Imagine if they had kids! "Robert Riedlinger-Kapa-Akau'ola-Laula". We've got one at our kids school, a four names/three hyphens surname

[Stargazer]

Lock Laghlan McWhannell stretching for the last 15 minutes. Cramp.

That should be prohibited. Just imagine having to fill in form. Even with a long last name, you already get into trouble, let alone double or double double last names.

haha

I think this Ozzie team are going to be staring on Smashed Em Bro next week too

[Stargazer]

4 minutes to go.

[Stargazer]

One of the NZ players down.

Apart from an awful scrum we look good. Put clarke, Jordan in the mix. But nth hempisphere teams will be licking lips at out set piece, especially in France.
I might be jumping the gun but Flanders is the best 8 prospect since Read. Maybe he shld be 8 in June series

[Stargazer]

@98blueandgold Haha! Watch the Magpies in the Mitre 10 Cup :winking_face:

[Rapido]

I've only been watching the last 20, with front row subs already on, by gee - our scrum is getting smaaaaaaaashed. Were the starters any better?

[Stargazer]

@rapido Not much better. Locks are our weakest position, I think. Props, the verdict is still out.

[Machpants]

I'm still happy the Kiwi way, teach em rugby first then up size em for the scrums later. I don't care if we lose every U20 JWC from now on, it's all about building for the future

[Stargazer]

Time's up.
