2017 New Zealand U20s

[Crucial]

According to the WR website these games should be streaming live from the site in the UK. Buggered if I can find where though.

[Crucial]

Found it. Boy that was painful. No link from the tournament pages

@booboo Should have checked the first post of the June Internationals thread.

Coupla things:

1. We can scrum!
2. We can maul.
3. We can't defend a maul.
4. And no Willie. Number 8 is not necessarily the worst place in the workd when your scrum is going backwards. Hooker is reasonably uncomfortable...

[mimic]

I cant see the Falcon hype..
So far I've seen him lose the ball twice, and one poor kick

[Crucial]

Could do with a halfback that can pass.

[Tim]

Fuck me, talk about pushing the pass.

[Bovidae]

Outside of their scrummaging the two NZ locks have been underwhelming.

[Rapido]

Pleasing that Fainganuku looks comfortable on the wrong wing. Not all do.

[booboo]

A little more patience lads. A little too eager to throw the miracle ball.

[Unite]

Score?

He might be inconsistent (I haven't been watching too closely), but he threw a couple of perfect bullets.

19-10 at the break

Agree, I did see a great one but also saw some shockers

[Stargazer]

@Unite 19-10 to the good guys

[Tim]

@Bovidae Not exactly great lineout throwing though ...

[Chris B.]

Scots apparently reported twice to the ref that they've been eye-gouged - not good to hear.

Yeah, we'd do well to calm down just a little bit. Not every play needs to be a miracle play. Part of a challenge for tournament teams where people are trying to impress the coach as well as win the game?

[Bovidae]

@Crucial Yes, the first couple of passes by Enari reminded me of TJP (passes bouncing to the intended player).

[Bovidae]

@Tim And KO receptions?

[booboo]

19-13

Make that 22-13
