2021 New Zealand U20s

That U20 XV is very similar to the team that played the Harlequins, so likely their best side.
How is Atu Moli going?

Great try from Gallagher. He, Lord, Evans and Fihaki have been the stand-outs for NZ U20s IMO.

I thought Segner was good when he came on as well.

Really liked what I saw from Morgan at 10. Can see why the Canes have snapped him up - looks like a more natural 10 to me than Ruben Love.
@Stargazer i’m sure you would have loved that try scored by Lakai, setup by fellow Wellington players Morgan and Higgins in the second half…
TK Howden looks to have broken his arm which may rule him out of the NPC.

@canes4life TK Howdens injury mustn’t of been that bad he’s down to start.
@mikey07 that's good news. He was holding his arm and looked to be in a fair amount of discomfort when he left the field the other day. Glad it was only minor as I'm looking forward to watching him play for Manawatu this year.
