@nta I like the umbrella being up in the crowd.

KiwiMurph

Etene Nanai - wow.

Stargazer

Again another great team try scored by Nanai! It started all with another very big lad, Tamaiti Williams. Geez what do they feed these kids?

Converted by Toala: 35 - 6 NZ

Stargazer

It looks like most forwards have come of the NZ bench. Or not, I see the 17 and 19.

NTA

@kiwimurph sun has a real sting in it today. Already had temps this year > 35C. Summer is going to fucking suck.

Stargazer

That was an awesome try from Leicester Faingaanuku!

Again converted by Toala: 42 - 6 NZ

Stargazer

It's funny hearing the commentator say that this was "just the 2nd try" from NZ in the 2nd half. The Aussies have not scored a single try in the whole game.

Stargazer

NZ bench has now definitely been emptied.

Stargazer

Is the ref stricter on the Kiwis or not? Now under a warning.

Stargazer

Geez, and now not penalising the Aussie halfback and giving Aussie the ball.

Rugger Quizzes

Only caught snippets of the 2nd half. Impressive defence from the NZ side. Impressed though by the Aussie Baabaas who haven't stopped trying.

Stargazer

@rugger-quizzes Yes, Aussie Baabaas playing with a lot of heart and not giving up! NZ Schools just too good. Really good to see how well they are playing.

Stargazer

Try Abraham Pole! Another conversion from Danny Toala.

Full time: NZ Schools 49 - 6 Australian Barbarians Schools

Geez, that NZ no 5, Tupou Vaa’I, is a giant!

I mentioned that a few weeks back after seeing him play at Wesley. Very mobile too for his size.

We'll have to wait to see how Aust Schools go against Fijian Schools for a comparison before the big game on Sat.

Am I in a different Sydney today? It's warm, but hardly hot. I doubt it's over 23/24 degrees.

I'm looking forward to some proper hot weather soon.

@nepia depends where in Sydney you are. Anyone within a few km of the coast gets a far different Sydney to out my way.

I was out west this morning (managed to avoid being shot) and it was fine ... whimps!

NTA

@nepia "out west" for most Kiwis in Sydney means "Ryde"

Anything past Sydney Uni is west for me ....

Aus Schools beat Fiji Schools 29 - 3. I'd suggest NZ Schools should be favourites for the match on Saturday.
