@Stargazer @Bovidae the Tonga game tomorrow will be live streamed on double take sports with a commentary team. @DoubleTakeQLD on Twitter but stream will be on YouTube

Awesome, thanks!

@stargazer Update - looks like it will be streamed on the NZ under 20 facebook page

That was Tyrone Thompson from Napier BHS leading the haka.

Tim

Good looking stream!

Niko Jones scores after a line-out drive. Conversion Rivez Reihana. 7-0 NZ

Stargazer

Not a good kick from Reihana; patience boys.

Stargazer

Try Apineru in the corner after a great offload from Niko Jones. Reihana can't convert (difficult angle). 12 - 0 NZ

Stargazer

Not sure whether this NZ Schools team is worse than last year's, or that Tonga Schools is better than expected (and better than last year's Fiji Schools).

Stargazer

Another try from a line-out drive, scored by hooker Soane Vikena. Converted. 19 - 0 NZ

Nepia

It's annoying they don't have replays - I've got this going on my second screen at work and every time I turn back I see the conversion!

Nepia

Unsurprisingly there's some big boys on this Tongan team.

Stargazer

@nepia I have seen several replays, particularly of the tries. It looks like you missed those, too.

Nepia

Yep, I guess I missed the replays as well. Oh well, saw this try by our gigantic number 1.

Stargazer

Good try from that big LH prop Tamaiti Williams. Converted by Reihana. 26 - 0 NZ. It's almost half time.

Stargazer

They said a player had been signed by the Crusaders. Were they talking about Punivai or someone else?

taniwharugby

@stargazer that guy is HUGE.

Bovidae

As the comms said, both props aren't just heavy but very tall.

The backs haven't really clicked yet.

Stargazer

@taniwharugby Big food bill for his parents.

Bovidae

@stargazer Williams.
