    Horrible performance, poor skills, poor coaching? Maybe they could put a bit more effort into actual game training and less into haka practice🤷‍♂️

      Rico Simpson has a big boot on him.

      About the only positive I can see out there.

      Frank Vaenuku is pretty good. That's also... something?

            14-5 to the Baby Blacks. But the real losers are all of us watching this game.

              Final score or still playing?

              Can't find a live score anywhere.

                One of the worst Rugby teams I've ever seen to represent New Zealand. If this is the future of All Black Rugby, we're fucked!

                  Yeah he does look good. Nice hit he put in earlier.

                        Baker looks like a clear Red on an off-field review (not that it matters)

                            This team can’t even do this basics like catch a pass. Scrum got destroyed, they seem to have a fetish for only sending 2 players to every ruck and lost a lot of ball. Terrible coaching job

                              I'd like just one U20 tournament where the ball isn't a sweaty lump of soap. Don't get me wrong, the NZ U20s absolutely need to do better but it would be nice, that's all I'm saying.

                              Maybe then the rugby would be a bit more watchable.

                                All over.

                                But, good God, that was a shit performance from a really bad team.

                                    I like how the Italian captain let off about 10 F bombs in the post match interview 😂

                                      The 7-8 loss to Wales in the 2019 U20 tournament was worse, in my opinion. Pretty comparable games, just error after error, with the added insult of actually losing the game.

                                          Just going back to the 2019 squad. Which finished 7th. Plenty of players have developed well out of it. Poor performance at U20s level doesn't mean guys should be totally written off.
