SR U20s 2025

Landers were deserving the win. Feel for those lads. Starting prop who got most minutes was in moon boot Friday and Saturday, gets most minutes for prop. Anyone that watches will see who that was. Some management decisions did not help these guys.
Blues were good too, great to see 2 competitive games.
Agree with earlier ranking comments. Its hard to rank as teams change yearly and it appears to be ranked from previous years placings. -
Difficult to make rankings accurate with teams only playing once p/year.
Perhaps they change it evey year so the NZ Super teams play a different non NZ Super team. They determine rankings via points for and against?
Its not great but neither is current setup.
Anyway, caught up with our nephew and sounds like Chiefs are fighting fit with only minor niggles for Tues game. He said the Canes might have a few players out in the midfield and loose trio.
Not trying to look too far but my head and heart are saying Chiefs for the win and i expect a different Crusaders team to turn up vs the Blues. I think theyll settle down early and run some of those big Blues forwards ragged.

@SouthernMann was impressed with Mika as well, thought he may have outplayed Rico in this one. Believe too that he's still eligible for New Zealand U18.

What I am suggesting is what happens in the 1st XV Top 4. The Blues, Chiefs, Hurricanes and South Island play a different team in sequence over a 3-year period. You could do the same amongst the 8 teams.

Seven of our best players came off the bench and we scored 40 points in the second half.
Easy win in the end in crappy conditions. All the players that stood out in the first game, stood out in this one as well.
