New Zealand under 20
-
<p>Peter Umaga Jensen was injured in the first game so ruled out for Saturday. Not sure of the extent of his injury but I hope he will be ready for the junior World Cup. </p>
-
<p>Mason Emerson had a great game on Wednesday. At first glance, it seems a bit odd that he's named on the bench instead of the starting line-up, but I guess they already know how good he is and they want to see more of the other outside backs.</p>
<p>Interesting to see Lowe on the left wing. Not sure what his preferred position is, but he never played there for the Magpies.</p> -

<p>Oh, right. Fair enough, then. I'm sure we'll see more of him at some point, then. If not this year, then the next.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think Jonah Lowe is a centre? Just shows how good this team is that he struggles to get a start there.</p> -

<p>I doubt it is because he struggles to get a start at centre. I think they're just trying what works best. These are just test runs for the JWC after all.</p> -

<p>Personally I would think that Lowe is at least considered the 4th best midfielder in the squad and struggling to get a starting spot at all (which just shows that we have a lot of depth there, as usual. I'm not saying he won't get a start at centre, but I very much doubt it'd be against the top teams, injuries aside. So in the top team, I do think he'd struggle to get a start (considering that Stevenson and Trainor still have to come in).</p> -

He will be a gauranteed Hurricane next year so will see plenty of him in the near future. -
