2017 New Zealand U20s

[Stockcar86]

This team looks well coached. It can't be Philpott. Who are the assistant coaches?

[Stargazer]

It's going fast now, with Tamati Tua scoring in the corner. Falcon has a rare miss.
29-6 NZ

Willie Rickards (Taranaki assistant coach) and Cory Brown (Otago head coach)

[Stargazer]

Half time: 29 - 6 NZ

I like how this team is going. Not too many errors, good decision making, some strong boys in that forward pack, outside backs being pests for the opposition (esp. 14 and 15), good kicking and leadership from the 10, a quick 9.

[Stargazer]

Another try to NZ. Ref initially called a NZ knock-on but ass ref said it wasn't. No camera angle from that side, so there's no way of knowing what happened. Couldn't see it.

Falcon converts: 36- 6 NZ.

[Stockcar86]

Falcon can tackle like his dad...

[Stargazer]

@Stockcar86 What do you reckon. If Otere Black leaves the Canes, a contract for Falcon?

Rakete-Stones looks like a young Clint Newlands

@cgrant won't matter. NZ to win by at least 50. Aussies will be lucky to score a try.

Still good for this one NTA!

[Stargazer]

Several subs, including Clarke for Faingaanuku. 53rd minute.

[Stargazer]

That was a shocker of a throw from the Aussie hooker.

[Stargazer]

Great try Jacobson. Aussies missing tackle after tackle. Weak.
Excellent conversion again from Falcon: 43-6 NZ

[Stargazer]

Umaga-Jensen sent to the bin. Not sure for what. High tackle?

Just have that one on cut n paste for each lineout.

[NTA]

This is barely opposed training for the NZ guys.

10 minutes to go. Don't be fucking it up now Kiwis!

[Stockcar86]

I'm still worried about set pieces against the big northern hemisphere sides.

[Stargazer]

@Stockcar86 Was thinking the same thing. They haven't been tested enough; at least, not by a good, strong team.

[Stargazer]

Full time: NZ 43 - 6 Aus

That scoreline sounds familiar.
