Crusaders U20 Nikola Vikena is a strong player, but he doesn't look quick enough for a winger. Maybe he'd be better at centre?
He usually is a centre.Good spotting

@bobily2 Not sure whether the Crusaders U20 scrum has become stronger or the Chiefs U20 pack weaker. Maybe both?
Hard to tell. I believe Moli isn't a specialist prop, and has often played hooker at the top level. So my theory is that Olly Ryan is an improvement there.

Crusaders James White's kick charged down, but did the Chiefs player really ground it? It's hard to see, both players claim it, the Chiefs' 21 (Te Aonui Wharawhara-Muriwai) gets the try. It's a pity there's no TMO.
Chiefs U20 31 - 29 Crusaders U20.

History tells me we'd get just as poor a decision with the TMO, but take 5 mins doing so

I would pay more attention to @Stargazer as I was multitasking.
For the Crusaders, I thought Jack Parker and Fletcher Anderson were the best players out there. Anderson made some good ground, and Parker has a decent boot and also had a hand in a couple tries. George Bell is obviously handy, Macca Springer can create a try out of nothing, and Olly Ryan made a difference in the scrum (again, this is the perspective of a wing - I'm still guessing).
Jamie Hannah has beefed up a bit and still looked pretty mobile.
For the Chiefs, Tahu Kemara was the obvious standout. Cody Nordstrom had some handy runs, too. I think that's about all I've got.
