NZ U20 v Junior Wallabies I

[Bovidae]

Some porous defence there.

[Stargazer]

Ronan Leahy gets a hat-trick. Our defence looks more disjointed in the 2nd half. Not converted by Jack Bowen.

21 - 31 to Oz (I think?)

[Stargazer]

Rory Woods (19) and Che Clarke (21) have come on; Lakai (8) has gone off. I missed who the other player was that was subbed off.

[Kirwan]

Scoring like tennis, Aussies turn next.

[Stargazer]

Try to Fin Hurley. Ajay Faleafaga misses the conversion.

26 - 31 Oz

[Stargazer]

I think they said Xavi Taele has left the field? Replaced by whom?

[Bovidae]

Ropeti is the lock replaced.

[Stargazer]

An Aussie scored a penalty goal. Didn't hear the name.

26 - 34 Australia

[Stargazer]

I think an Aussie got yellow carded? Reserve prop Nick Bloomfield.

[Stargazer]

Now reserve hooker Liam Bowron also yellow. Aussie two men down.

[Stargazer]

Two Aussie players going off, because there is a scrum. One of them a winger. The other?

[Stargazer]

Come on lads, you have two players more on the field.

[Stargazer]

Full time: NZ U20 26 - 34 Junior Wallabies

[Stargazer]

Disappointing result, but not surprised looking at the players that were NOT playing.

Biggest change needed in the frontrow and the halves.

[Bovidae]

The forwards coach has a lot of work to do.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae If they have one, the defence coach, too.

[Bovidae]

The assistants are Wesley Clarke and Marty Bourke, so Clarke is the man.

[Kirwan]

@Bovidae Aussies were much better at getting numbers to the rucks too.

[SouthernMann]

Irish Paul heaping praise on Finn Hurley. Calling him the best NZ back on twitter

[bobily2]

@SouthernMann He can definitely create something. Goes both ways, though.

I missed the end of the second-half, but thought Isaac Hutchinson was probably the best back
