2018 New Zealand U20s

[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.

[98blueandgold]

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.

[Stargazer]

Oh shut up ref. That was a great NZ scrum.

[Machpants]

And that was a ref call from the bottom drawer
