Interestingly, Sportsbet have us as equal favourites with RSA to win the comp and heavy favourites over the Argies.

Our scrum at age grade over the last few years has been one of our few strengths. Probably since AAA in 2014. Since then the likes of Vui, Lomax, Uelese, et al. have kept it a weapon. Can't recall last years as much. Italy played silly buggers and then we were at least even. We dominated Ireland...

France had an early RC, Argentina had one close to half time. They look mercurial like their senior counterparts. I think we'd have a great chance if we can manage our discipline and keep out the yellows and reds. Some of their outside backs look amazing. Forget what the little fellow is called...

Me too. A red card in the 2nd minute is frustrating. I'd say better to have a red worth 20mins down a man, the carded player doesn't return and double the suspension following the game. If a red is given in the last 10 minutes, triple the suspension.

Taken out of context. I wouldn't call them negatives, just areas to grow as a team. Minute you stop trying to grow is the beginning of the decline.

Nope. We smashed NZ in greasy conditions. Our backrow and pack in general are our biggest strengths. Harrison is a great kicker, our defence is very solid. We are well suited to a slog fest.

I'd never have said they dominated, but they did put extreme pressure on us on our own line. A different ref would've given us a yellow sticker for that passage in the second half. We found it hard to defend our line while trying to manage tackle laws and keeping onside. Ireland's handling and...

Incidentally, how good was our goal kicking in last night's match? How come our seniors never come close to that.

I'd rotate a few. Don't know if you'd call it resting and with some of the quality we have on the bench, maybe it's worthwhile. Nick Frost and Esei Ha'angana are both worth a start. Reckon Joe Cotton, Tafa and Tizzano are too. Plus Henry Robertson. There are no easy finals matches and you've...

Great isn't it. Because England didn't take 5 points we automatically top the pool.

Agreed. I hope the Aussie took a few key messages from how Ireland managed that game.

Hmm maybe I am speaking too soon- be interesting to see how the NZ/RSA pool goes.

Game Australia 45-17.

Pretty sure we would be impossible to dislodge from the semi-finals regardless of how we do against England.

Frost is on fire. Solid gold.

Not as much as against Italy. When we've got the ball wide, we've done damage. The backrow are always good for metres in contact.

Can you come back in 3 weeks? There are three more games play.

McReight has to be an early contender for U20 player of the year.

Well piss off then and don't ruin the rest of the game ;)

55metre kick at goal?
