NZ U20 v Georgia U20 (World Rugby U20 Championship)

[Stargazer]

Yep, yellow card to the Georgian right winger and a penalty try.

50 - 26 NZ

[MiketheSnow]

Great reffing

[Stargazer]

Full time: New Zealand 50 - 26 Georgia

[Victor Meldrew]

Huge hit by Wrampling-Alec. Wins the coolest name award as well.

Being called a tier 2 country clearly doesn't sit well with that Georgian captain haha.

The Canes need to sign up Lakai and Godfrey on long term deals. Both standouts. I thought the Crusader’s halves pairing were fairly up and down this tournament but I’m sure that relationship will get better over the years as they develop.

I'm fairly optimistic about this crop of players. Clearly there's a lot of talent there and so much potential. I like our starting props, they have come a long way since the manshaming at srcum time against Australia a few weeks ago.

@akan004 Yes, the scrum definitely improved and it was only when down to 7 that we struggled a bit. To be expected. Too many poor lineouts though, particularly the over-throws to the back.

Quite a few of this squad will be back in 2024, and some even for 2025.

We need to get the right coaching group at this level.

Different tight head I think
