2012 IRB Junior World Championship

[Hugh Jarse]

Foley and Latu are on for the Little Wob's. Do we call them The Joey's or has that name already been taken at the national level, cause locally Joeys has been taken but not The Joeys.

PK to Frog. We're stuffed, and deservedly so. The Frogs have played a more disciplined and aggressive game and have denied us good possession, space and time.

Matt Lucas on for Frisby,

 

[Intruder]

Latunipulu has had a poor game defensively.

 

[Riptide]

Jeus.. what a French maul..over 20 meters..

 

[Nusadan]

The French defence seems to know where the Aussies would run into passes as they are waiting for them at point of catching the ball, and leading to countless turnovers...

 

[Riptide]

Sautia's rep hasn't been enhanced by his play on either side of the ball today although French forwards had a fair amount of say about that. Shocking high tackle.

 

[Nusadan]

Did he get the yellow card after all? hard to see the yellow bit on the scoreboard in live streaming...

 

[Cardiffblue]

future's not looking so rosy for the SH uber alles cheer squad

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Sautia to the bin for high tackle. Dear oh dear, About the 3rd high tackle in a very short space of time.

Our overall tackling has been poor in this match. Hoskins is on for Makin. Latu replaced Roach. How does he go throwing into lineouts? Only ever seen him prop.

 

[Intruder]

How many times have we missed touch ?

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Wales and Argies have their pools sorted out to advance to the Semis.

Saffer vs Soap Dodgers (most likely) to advance for Pool B.

Be a brave gambler to bet against the little Darknesses for Seed 4 spot.

SF's likely to be WAL v NZL and ENG v ARG.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

How many times have we missed touch ?

Kicking with as much venom and skill as we say in Newcastle last Tuesday night.

Apart from the lineout, tackling, kicking, and decision making, our game was good.

 

[Nusadan]

The Little Wobs are the new French of rugby...we don't know how they will play that day! Also now they have a penchant for high tackles just like the good ol' dirty French in the 70s ...

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Bonus point 4th Try (for what its worth) to Les Frogge.

Thoroughly deserved victory for them. More passion, skill, discipline and precision from the Men in Bleu.

Score 31- 7.

MOM for Gold:
Gill (even though he should have taken the 3 points)
HM to Holloway, & Holland

 

[Nusadan]

My despondence is not helped by a losing bet on the Wobs when they were at the seemingly juicy 3/1 odds after the first two French tries...

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Next up Soap Dodgers vs Saffers. Hmmmm Bit like the Manly vs Malbourne Storm mungoball GF a couple of years back - which team do I not to win the least. Can it be a 0-0 draw?

I think I can hear my bed calling out for me. Night night Gaggerland.

 

[qwerty51]

I don't know what to say, it's that shocking.

 

[Nusadan]

Fiji still leading the Baby Blacks after 12mins after scoring a try in 2nd min...

 

[Riptide]

Watching both games.. NZ look disjointed.

 

[qwerty51]

Yep NZ look shit as well.

New Zealand, Australia and South Africa have all been horrible this tournament and I know exactly why:

Six Nations u20s. Come on SANZAR do something about it, we need a SH u20s tournament.

 

[Riptide]

32 mins in.. NZ still down 5-0.. Dominating possession but struggling to get in behind an aggressive and really physical Fijian defense; NZ certainly can't seem to get around it.
