Short note: Aus U20 currently 44-0 up against Fiji U20. Not watching it because the stream is fucking vile at this end. But it looks like being a win.
I been watching and aus looked very good on defence but nothing special in attack

@family-man that's a change from "shit all round" but we'll see if they can get within 30 of NZ.

Tanielu Tele'a
Sorry to digress.
But is seems an unnecessary apostrophe.
Was Alex Telea's name spelt wrong all those years ago? Or are these 2 different names? If so what's the difference in pronunciation?Genuine question.
Samoans know how to pronounce names without apostrophes.. I asked my mum about it and she said that they added the apostrophe so white people know how to say our names..
My name has an apostrophe in it, but some of my first cousins dont have it added..
