NZ U20 v France U20 (World Rugby U20 Championship)

[canefan]

If we can secure the line out we have a good attacking opportunity

[Stargazer]

It looks like Flanders has come on, too.

I have to admire your optimism...

Just get on with it. Frenchies just need a breather.

At a time the NRL are trying to reduce stoppages, rugby allow more petty stoppages

[KiwiMurph]

France back to 14

[ACT Crusader]

There’s that little fella

[frugby]

Will be interesting to see whether this cameo from Viljoen gets him the start next game. Complicated with Hotham as skipper.

[Stargazer]

@KiwiMurph NZ back to 15.

[KiwiMurph]

Not the best thrower the NZ bench hooker. Try to avoid lineouts

[frugby]

@KiwiMurph That was a shocker. A friggen hand grenade from Tuputupu.

[canefan]

Great pass by the little guy to put Lakai over

[akan004]

Nice

[ACT Crusader]

He deserves that. Worked his butt off.

[frugby]

Viljoen might just be our best ever halfback.

[canefan]

Viljoen has made a tangible difference to our attack. Can Laidlaw make the tough decision?

[KiwiMurph]

Beautiful.

Yeah fair play Viljoen is very good.

Lakai has had a storming second half

[Stargazer]

Awesome try. We won't win the game, but it helps to keep the margin reasonable.

[KiwiMurph]

@Stargazer what's the story with reaching the knockouts?

[ACT Crusader]

Lakai was a lone wolf in the first half. And has been barnstorming on the 2nd

[frugby]

@KiwiMurph None... Ireland and England drawing basically means they are guaranteed to take the best 2nd place spot.
