Hurricanes Under 20s vs Blues Under 20s

[Stargazer]

The biased commentators are annoying.

[Stargazer]

Awesome try to the Blues U20s right winger. Sorry, I haven't seen a line-up.

[Steven Harris]

Greedy little prick ..would have been more impressed if he had drawn and passed

@Stargazer said in Hurricanes Under 20s vs Blues Under 20s:

Try Cooper Flanders! Great pass from Godfrey to Higgins, who ran a beautiful line and offloaded to Flanders who ran at full speed to dot down!

Class try that first one, lovely touches from the big three for the Canes.

[Stargazer]

Who's James Parson's co-commentator?

[Canes4life]

Blues have a massive wind advantage in this first half.

[Steven Harris]

@Stargazer Bevan Dewar ,friend of mine , hes a Taranaki Boy but is still a Hurricanes supporter through and through ..

[Stargazer]

@Steven-Harris Is he a radio commentator? His voice sounds familiar.

[Steven Harris]

@Canes4life by the look of it , i think it will come down to whomever holds the ball

[Steven Harris]

@Stargazer ex Radio Sport producer , also calls Japanese Top 14 and Landrover secondary schools rugby

[Steven Harris]

Is there A Blues team sheet somewhere..?

[Stargazer]

@Steven-Harris I tried finding it. I don't think they posted one.

Some of these players are clearly still in the stage in-between schoolboy rugby and senior rugby. Great skills but too greedy. and not passing when they should.

[Stargazer]

@bobily2 Excellent, thanks!

5.Allan Craig

good to see, I thought he musta been injured as he hasnt played any club footy.

[Steven Harris]

Can see why NZ forwards struggle at the World Under 20 tournaments , the attention to detail in an around lineout,scrum and breakdown is crap

[Canes4life]

What’s up with Godfrey’s passing game? He’s had a couple shockers this half.

[Stargazer]

@Steven-Harris One of the Hurricanes U20 assistant coach is Eugene Smith, a former hooker and Wellington U19 coach.
