U20 Championship - NZ v Wales

[Stargazer]

@Duluth Mostly the scrum. Maybe line-out mauls, too, but I can't quite remember. Our scrum going backwards was awful.

@Duluth

Think MP in SR for the scrums vs Aust.

Lauaki now starts, but he had some issues for the NZ U19s in SA last year.

@Stargazer Interesting Welsh side.

No. 3 might be a bit unmotivated.
No. 5 a bit inexperienced?
No. 8 I reckon we can break their lineout codes.
No. 11 I suspect they have a problem.
No. 15 Worries me though.

Both these packs are tiny compared to the English and Irish packs.

U20 6N and academy systems over there are going to make this an interesting tournament
