NZ U20 v Japan U20 (World Rugby U20 Championship)

[Stargazer]

It doesn't matter in the end. Try Hutchinson.

[Stargazer]

I hate this new rule where they can still go back a few phases after the try has been converted.
Try disallowed.

[Stargazer]

Try Kemara. 43 - 12 NZ

36 points to go

[Stargazer]

Kemara is really rocks and diamonds.

[Stargazer]

Another NZ try disallowed because of a knock-on.

[Stargazer]

Vai, Gordon & Flanders are on the field.

[Stargazer]

Allen on for Cahill.

[Victor Meldrew]

This is way too scrappy - need some more points to ensure we get out of the pool stage

[Tim]

Nice ball from Godfrey in the phase before the try.

[Stargazer]

Good try. Springer gets the hat-trick. Need 29 more points.

50 -12 NZ

[Victor Meldrew]

Springer in. Now waiting for the Ref to check back 5 phases...

[Victor Meldrew]

@Tim

Player of the tournament so far for NZ

[Tim]

@Victor-Meldrew That kick wasn't flash though.

[Stargazer]

Great try. This time it's Flanders.

[Victor Meldrew]

Super try and great vision from Vaii

[Stargazer]

Lovely stepping from Vai. Flanders has the speed.

57 - 12 NZ

22 more points needed

[Stargazer]

Dammit. That's not helping. Japanese score.

57 - 17 NZ

Back to 29 points needed.

[akan004]

Do they even practice maul defence?

Haha it's been a no hope cause for 20 minutes

[Stargazer]

FT: New Zealand 62 - 19 Japan

That won't be enough for a spot in the semi-finals.
