2018 New Zealand U20s

[Stargazer]

@taniwharugby Yes, and it was a bullshit card.

[taniwharugby]

@stargazer looked a handy player!

Uluilakepa is named as the reserve hooker. He must be the biggest hooker ever at any level (1.90 m, 145 kg).

Remind me again how to watch tomorrwo morning? Is it on Sky, or on another channel?

[Stargazer]

@nzzp It's on Duke (on tv, but I think also online if you register on the TVNZ website).

[nzzp]

@stargazer thanks fella, brain has shut down tonight

Scott played ten for Whangarei Boys, twelve when he was in the development teams. Ten was his preferred position but he was used in twelve cos he was pretty big, NZ hammer champ etc. Not talked to him since he left school tho, but twelve and playmaking not new to him, but not at this level. Great to see him start!

@taniwharugby said in 2018 New Zealand U20s:

@stargazer is Florence the ginger that got a YC in the Welsh game?

That must be the guy that when I glimpsed him on the highlights I thought 'Look! Paul Tito has returned'

[Stargazer]

I agree that that "try" wasn't a try, but I hate it that they first award it and then just before the conversion is kicked, they decide to have a further look and disallow it.

[Stargazer]

Now it's a try to Plummer. He converts his own try: 7 - 0 after 5 minutes.

[Stargazer]

Bullshit penalty. The kick from the Aussie first 5/8 is good. 7 - 3 to NZ after 10 minutes.

[Stargazer]

Woweeeeee, Intercept try scored by Devan Flanders. The lad can run!

[98blueandgold]

im officially in love with Flanders, the last 5 minutes from him have been absolute class.

[Stargazer]

@98blueandgold One of the stars of last years Hastings Boys' squad. That lad has some future in rugby. To think he's one of the youngest in this squad and is eligible again next year!

[Stargazer]

14 - 3 to NZ after 15 minutes.

[Stargazer]

Penalty goal Plummer: 17 - 3 NZ

[Stargazer]

Try from the Aussie no. 7, after a grubber kick was kept in play by - I think - one of the wingers.

Not converted: 17 - 8 NZ after 30 minutes.

[Stargazer]

Australian scrum still better than ours.

[Stargazer]

Oh oh, scrum close to our try line ...

[Stargazer]

And another one.
