Good strength from Will Stodart leads to the first try of the 2nd half. Faleafaga converts.

26 all

Was that Hurley who kicked the 50:22 for the Landers?

Yeah it was. Defence is not a top priority in this game.

[Stargazer]

Line-out throwing has been a bit of a problem for both hookers, due to the strong wind.

[Stargazer]

Good team try scored by Bethel Malasia. Excellent conversion from Godfrey.

33 - 26 Canes U20

[Stargazer]

Try saving tackle from Harry Godfrey.

[SouthernMann]

Josh Whaanga looks likehe is missing a yard of pace. Could be a big hinderance in him going further.

[Stargazer]

That's the second time in five minutes that Hunter Morrison does something great and follows it up with a shit pass that leads to a turnover. The potential is certainly there, but his decision-making needs work.

[Stargazer]

Max Radcliffe gets 20 minutes.

[Stargazer]

Taylor's throwing really a problem in this game.

[Stargazer]

Why do the commentators give Viljoen all the credit? Maybe it's my eye patch but I think Godfrey has been standing out more.

[Stargazer]

Armstrong-Ravula taking the penalty kick. Has Godfrey been subbed off or has he shifted to fullback?

36 - 26 Canes U20

[Stargazer]

Godfrey still on the field.

slight side point, i have noticed a hell of a lot less tackle practice at my club happens than i remember back in the day, lots of broken play or dead ball launch

[Stargazer]

Morrison has now stolen several Highlanders line-out balls.

[Stargazer]

Hunter Morrison turned the ball over; not Dominic Ropeti.

FT: Hurricanes U20 36 - 26 Highlanders U20

I think the final score is a fair reflection of the game.

Both of them were really good, it doesn’t really matter who played better, just as long as we lock both players in on long term contracts, that’s all I care about. Godfrey looks like a smaller version of Beaudy but controls the game better.

Vijoen reminds me of a young Aaron Smith with that passing. I guess his size helps him fling the ball out faster than many other halfbacks. The only worry I have about Jordie, is his size.
