2017 New Zealand U20s

[Chris B.]

Forwards from the North Island, backs from the South Island (mainly).

That seems very wrong!

[Stargazer]

Really looking forward to watching the NZU20s play. I've been following a few of these players for a few years and it's great to see them progress. Some of these lads will be All Blacks in a few years!

[Stargazer]

Fantastic first try from Tima Faingaanuku, who had to fend off several defenders, after a great pass from Falcon, who also converted the try. Good start of the game.

[Stargazer]

The Scots have strong pack. Try from a driving maul.

[Tim]

That maul smashed our pack.

[SammyC]

Pathetic maul defence

Too many north island forwards obviously

[Tim]

Some damned slick passing for that try.

[KiwiMurph]

Wheres the 13 Tua from? Those 2 passes were gun.

[Tim]

@KiwiMurph Northland?

[Tim]

@KiwiMurph Braydon Ennor (Canterbury) was listed at 13.

[Stargazer]

These Scottish forwards look so much bigger than the Kiwis and they are not really small either.

[mimic]

That scrum though

[KiwiMurph]

@Tim Tua is playing 13. I see he's in the Blues U20s. Some excellent initial involvement.

[Tim]

@KiwiMurph Aha.

Great scrum.

[Stargazer]

Wow, that was a great 2nd try from Faingaanuku!

That isn't Ennor at 13? (I have no idea what those two players look like).

[Rapido]

TMOs are such a scourge on this sport.

Why waste minutes making the wrong decsisions, really, really slowly.
Just let refs fuck up in real time.

Looking at the 13, he looks more like a "Tua" than a "Ennor".

[Rapido]

Certainly took on lessons from last years scrum debacle.

Next year we can address mauls.

[KiwiMurph]

More work needed on the lineout.
