@ARHS said in 2019 under 20's:
Is that 8 forwards on the bench and no backs? Do the trial substitution laws apply?
Looking at those squads, the Georgians have a bench of 13 players, in line with the new (trial) rules for U20s. I suspect they have just forgotten to include the players with the jersey numbers 24 to 28 on the NZ bench, because maybe their website person isn't aware of those new rules (assuming the NZ coaches aren't that stupid)? So @Canes4life beloved Billy Proctor may still be on the bench.

I assume Georgia will pack a decent scrum. is there a chance we could belly up against these guys..?

@Stargazer Sweet I can blame the team sheet announcement error for my rant.

I will reserve judgement but this team could struggle to get out of pool play. Will be a massive reliance on Flanders as a ball carrier and wings to create magic every time they touch ball. Just can’t see this team creating pressure for long periods of time or creating enough consistent space for outsides. This is mainly to do with lack of game managers in half’s and big ball carriers in forwards. Hope I’m wrong 🙁

@Daffy-Jaffy Can you, please, hide these scores with the spoiler function? Not all of us will be able to watch all games live and like to watch them later without having seen the score. Thx.

@Stargazer Sorry I don't know what that is, please explain how.

@Daffy-Jaffy It's a symbol that looks like an eye.
