NZ U20 v Junior Wallabies I

[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

[Stargazer]

@bobily2 Is he the one with the blond dyed hair? It's hard to see on screen.

[bobily2]

@Stargazer Yup, that's the one

[Stargazer]

Malakai Hala also on for Ben Ake at LH.

[Stargazer]

Bugger. Try to Aussie wing Ronan Leahy. His second.

[Stargazer]

Nice grubber, too.
Jack Bowen converts

14 - 26 OZ

Ajay Faleafaga comes on for Taha Kemara.
