Official Junior (U20) Rugby World Cup 2015 Thread

Remember Wednesday,.". We take on OZ..

Pool decider for sure and hopefully more of a spectacle than the BB's first 2 games. I actually hate watching SA U20's play. They epitomize everything that is right and wrong with SA rugby. Brutal physically but technically inept.

Thank you my man? Hanro post match interview.

NZ 32 Argentina 29... Argies made them work hard for the win.

Italians have come to play. Good start for them. 3-0 up after 17 and their pack is dominating a bit. I-talia!!! I-talia!!! I-talia!!!!

 

[sand_man]

Intercept try, Italy 8-0 with the conversion to come. Aussies under pressure!!

Edit: conversion missed.

France upset the form books with a convincing 30-18 win against England, effectively putting England out of the tournament.

Scotland hammering Argentina too, another upset.

8.30 tonight Baby Boks against Australia. Boks will have to up their play by at least 25% if they going to win this one. For all their brawn and physicality they've shown very little finesse and/or skill. It's been a hard ask watching them play. Sure they've won 2/2 but against pretty average opposition. Australia will be a more severe test of their metal.

[sand_man]

How's this for a 1st scrum.

Hell, this Thomson lad can kick!! 17-3 the Baby Boks lead. Forwards once again scoring our tries. Bit of a monster pack but the backs? Mmmmm... Yet to show their flare.

 

[Pitbull]

They need to kick away less possession... Apart from that they look solid. The Bokkies are HUGE!!!

Yeah the ascendancy we enjoying in the forwards the Aussies enjoy in the backs. Kick away possession at your own risk. Our forwards are absolutely monstering them at the mo. I fancy a tight head try from this next scrum.

 

[Mortymoose]

Some of these baby boks are real hard men......

Enjoying this...

 

[sand_man]

Aussies backing themselves to run it out of their 22. Knock and now they under pressure.

 

[sand_man]

BB must convert this opportunity into points.

 

[Mortymoose]

The Ozzies are going to get tired and will crack,, they cannot keep up this type of defence for the entire game...

 

[sand_man]

Good God it's good to see a Aussie pack disintegrate like that, doesn't matter at which age group.

 

[CAPS LOCK]

Damn, should have been the 4th try..
