Not to see Caleb Clarke in the starting XV is a big surprise for me. He was really impressive against Samoa.

Bullshit penalty to Aus. NZ flanker used his foot in the scrum to push the ball back, and the ref said he used his hand

Australia U20s fall to red hot Kiwis

[Stargazer]

One change in the line-up on the AB website: Mikaele-Tu'u has been added to the injury list and Adrian Choat takes his place on the bench.

[Stargazer]

Luke Jacobson picks up the ball at the back of the scrum and dives over for the first try. Tiaan Falcon converts the try: 7-3 NZ

[Stargazer]

Penalty goal Tiaan Falcon: 10-3 NZ

[Stargazer]

Damn, Falcon is good; delivering some great passes there. Enari, too.

Try Walker-Leawere. Falcon converts again: 17-3 NZ

[Stargazer]

Great try scored by Will Jordan after slicing through the Aussie defence like a knife through butter. Falcon with another perfect conversion: 24-6.

[Stockcar86]

This team looks well coached. It can't be Philpott. Who are the assistant coaches?

[Stargazer]

It's going fast now, with Tamati Tua scoring in the corner. Falcon has a rare miss.
29-6 NZ

Willie Rickards (Taranaki assistant coach) and Cory Brown (Otago head coach)

[Stargazer]

Half time: 29 - 6 NZ

I like how this team is going. Not too many errors, good decision making, some strong boys in that forward pack, outside backs being pests for the opposition (esp. 14 and 15), good kicking and leadership from the 10, a quick 9.

[Stargazer]

Another try to NZ. Ref initially called a NZ knock-on but ass ref said it wasn't. No camera angle from that side, so there's no way of knowing what happened. Couldn't see it.

Falcon converts: 36- 6 NZ.

[Stockcar86]

Falcon can tackle like his dad...

[Stargazer]

@Stockcar86 What do you reckon. If Otere Black leaves the Canes, a contract for Falcon?

Rakete-Stones looks like a young Clint Newlands

@cgrant won't matter. NZ to win by at least 50. Aussies will be lucky to score a try.

Still good for this one NTA!

[Stargazer]

Several subs, including Clarke for Faingaanuku. 53rd minute.

[Stargazer]

That was a shocker of a throw from the Aussie hooker.
