This is the match center page for NZ U20 v Wales U20:
-
A must-win game for NZ with France also in the pool. Wales (6) are seeded ahead of NZ (7).

That's nonsense

@MiketheSnow The seedings are based on the 2019 WC placings, and Wales did beat NZ.

I missed the games against Aussie a few weeks ago. Does this look like the top xv?
It's close to the team that played the second game vs Aust. Lauaki and Stodart come into the starting XV, and neither were involved in those games. The surprise to me is the midfield duo, who I wouldn't have picked based on the wider training squad. I've seen a lot of Aki Tuivailala play, but he wasn't in that group, and is in his first year out of school. It's the forwards that will need to front up.

Was the set piece the problem, like previous u20 sides? Or were they beaten in general play too?
