    @SammyC I think we've signed him for two years.

    http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/provincial/89729835/tasman-Mako$-snap-up-former-canterbury-schoolboy-star-will-jordan

    Apparently he's got aspirations of becoming smarter, better-looking and acquiring some dress sense. All of which made coming to Nelson a no-brainer. 🙂

    I think that's a good move from both unions (providing of course he wants to play for the crusaders)

    We have a lot of exciting young outside backs lining up to make the Canterbury squad in the next couple of years. Would be nice to hold onto them.

    @SammyC Mako$ should have a reasonable backline this year despite losing Banks, Fonotia and Lowe.

    Guyton, Hunt, Havili, Nankivell, Lolohea, Faingaanuku, Jordan should be reasonable though youthful.

    Dalton Papali'i is injured, so was not considered for this match, while an ACL injury to prop Ryan Coxon sees him join fellow bookend Tim Farrell in being invalided out of the tournament. A replacement is to be confirmed.

    Jacob Pierce hadn't played yet? He in the squad isn't he? Although there seems to be 3 other locks.

    @Rapido I have only watched the game vs Scotland and Pierce came off the bench in that game. He was a late replacement for the sick Caird.

    The Italians are playing well. Unlucky not to convert some of their chances into points, but they're at least creating opportunities to score. That's more than the Scots at the moment.

    Great game this. Italians deserve it more, but Scots still one point ahead with 8 minutes to go.

    The Italians were just lacking a bit of belief. Still its their best U20 side since they've been in the competition.

    The baby blacks should be looking to run up a big score on Ireland, as Ireland are sending out the reserves.

    Many injuries?

    Ref not trusting his AR, wasting time by going to the TMO, ending up with the same decision.

    The basics done well there between Leger and Ennor. Lovely try down the right-hand side.
