@bovidae from what I have heard it gives you a good leg up at least.

@taniwharugby Philpott had Delany and Hill in his group, and now we have Donnelly and Jane. At least Donnelly has head coaching experience.

@maxwell I suspect Steven Bates will coach the Blues U20s, as he's recently been appointed the Blues Development Coach, but it could be someone else, of course.
The Hurricanes U20s coach is usually Darren Larsen, so I can only assume he'll be the coach again.
The Chiefs U20 head coach is Waikato’s Paul Hodder, assisted by Greg Smith (Waikato?), Jarrad Hoeata (Taranaki), Chad Shepherd (Counties) and James Porter (BOP).

I haven't found more info, unfortunately. -
The wider Chiefs squad I posted above lists their full coaching and management team.
@Steven-Harris should be able to help you with the Blues U20 coach as he saw them play.

I understand that there was a game between the Crusaders U20 and Highlanders U20 in Temuka, yesterday.
I've no idea of the result and scorers, also haven't seen the Highlanders U20 line-up, but according to Facebook (it may have been the Legend of Marty Banks' page, where I saw it) this was the Crusaders U20 team that played:

24-22 crusaders
