NZ U20 v Junior Wallabies I

[Stargazer]

Converted by no. 10 Jack Bowen.

7 - 14 Australia

[bobily2]

Poor throw by Vernon Bason at that lineout

[Stargazer]

Yellow for Bradley Crichton (?).

[Bovidae]

Need to get Cron/Ryan in there ASAP. Again, the best two THs aren't playing either. The same for the hooker.

[Stargazer]

Malakai Hala coming on for the scrum. Cody Vai off.

[Stargazer]

Try to Australia, scored by right winger Ronan Leahy.

[Stargazer]

Not converted by Jack Bowen.

7 - 19 Australia

[Kirwan]

@Stargazer was a slick try too.

[Stargazer]

Another terrible line-out throw.

[Kirwan]

Is this an automated camera feed?

[Stargazer]

Bradley Crichton and Cody Vai back on the field; Hala off.

[Kirwan]

What a great kick, nice try.

[Stargazer]

Great kick from Hurley; finished well by Isaac Hutchinson.

Converted by Riley Williams.

HT: NZ 14 - 19 Aus

[Stargazer]

The biggest problem is our frontrow.

[Bovidae]

Three different TH props used by NZ in the 1st half, and they all got owned in the scrum. Time to bring Tuputupu on.

[Kirwan]

I hear the announcer saying there is another game on Saturday, so are they managing their squad?

[bobily2]

@Kirwan Most of the players playing aren't our first-choice. Godfrey, Hotham, Springer etc are the more notable omissions (that I can remember off the top of my head - there are many more)

[Bovidae]

@Kirwan Half the original 38-man squad isn't playing today. Some will be injured, but not all of them. There are plenty of players who have some SR/NPC experience to return. Unfortunately none of them are props.

[Stargazer]

I expect plenty of changes for the 2nd half. Maybe they'll take players off who are expected to play in the 2nd game?

[bobily2]

Tuputupu is on
