2017 NZ Schools

[Stargazer]

That's a feisty Aussie Baabaas team!

Yellow card for Tupou Vaa’I (NZ) for a tip tackle.

Second penalty goal (Campbell Parata) for the Aussies: 7-6 NZ

[Stargazer]

Good team try scored by Etene Nanai! Attack started by McClutchie, via Tapsell?, to Toala, and Nanai goes over!

Toala converts again: 14-6 NZ

[Stargazer]

Try George Dyer. Converted by Toala.
21-6 NZ

NZ now back to 15 players.

[Stargazer]

Geez, that NZ no 5, Tupou Vaa’I, is a giant!

[NTA]

@stargazer said in 2017 NZ Schools:

That's a feisty Aussie Baabaas team!

They should be - some of those boys were in the victorious ACT side, who didn't get picked in the First XV.

[Stargazer]

And the giant scores a try! Right under the sticks, so easy conversion for Toala.

Half time: NZ Schools 28 - 6 Aussie Baabaas

[KiwiMurph]

That field is dusty as fuck. With all the money Knox has you think they could sort out their field - and if they cant don't award them the match.

[NTA]

@kiwimurph Only in patches. And its the greenest rugby field I've seen in Sydney this year

But yes, despite being the driest summer on record in Sydney, you'd think a fucking private school would have the cash to keep that shit in order and not get green paint out.

[KiwiMurph]

@nta I like the umbrella being up in the crowd.

[KiwiMurph]

Etene Nanai - wow.

[Stargazer]

Again another great team try scored by Nanai! It started all with another very big lad, Tamaiti Williams. Geez what do they feed these kids?

Converted by Toala: 35 - 6 NZ

[Stargazer]

It looks like most forwards have come of the NZ bench. Or not, I see the 17 and 19.

[NTA]

@kiwimurph sun has a real sting in it today. Already had temps this year > 35C. Summer is going to fucking suck.

[Stargazer]

That was an awesome try from Leicester Faingaanuku!

Again converted by Toala: 42 - 6 NZ

[Stargazer]

It's funny hearing the commentator say that this was "just the 2nd try" from NZ in the 2nd half. The Aussies have not scored a single try in the whole game.

[Stargazer]

NZ bench has now definitely been emptied.

[Stargazer]

Is the ref stricter on the Kiwis or not? Now under a warning.

[Stargazer]

Geez, and now not penalising the Aussie halfback and giving Aussie the ball.

[Rugger Quizzes]

Only caught snippets of the 2nd half. Impressive defence from the NZ side. Impressed though by the Aussie Baabaas who haven't stopped trying.

[Stargazer]

@rugger-quizzes Yes, Aussie Baabaas playing with a lot of heart and not giving up! NZ Schools just too good. Really good to see how well they are playing.
