[KiwiMurph]

That seems ridiculous. He got pushed into it by black 7

[KiwiMurph]

Simpson binned

[KiwiMurph]

NZ lead 29-25 but are down to 14 men

8 to go

[KiwiMurph]

Brilliant try

Taele good power

So many phases with 14 men

[KiwiMurph]

NZ win 36-25

Strong last 20 mins by NZ - good bench impact

[Chris]

Letui very impressive off the bench at hooker.

He scored two tries!

Maxwell was unlucky but that is what happens now.

NZ showed some smarts and attitude to score with Simpson in the bin.

O'Donovan must have been injured as he never took the field.

@Grooter he's a gun aye, hopefully he isn't too small for Super Rugby because he's electric. I hope he plays for Wellington this year and pushes for a Canes contract.

The officiating was terrible across the board in that game, none of them should be elevated to any higher level of rugby

What is the reason for back to back U20 championships in SA? When was the last time it was held in NZ??

I assume it comes down to money and actually bidding to host.

When was the last time it was held in NZ??

2014, which is the only time. Australia have never hosted the U20 RWC.

This is the inaugural SR U20s, so the previous is moot.
