Scotland are truly a miserable rugby nation. They just suck.
Argies just couldn't hang on and give away an offside penalty in an easily kickable position which they duly to take the chocolates by 1 point.
17 ENG - 16 ARG.
Last year souths 2nd colts lost a close game to Uni for a spot in the grand final.I was the one who may have started "it" re Pulver.
@Pstoe claimed at post #668 "After following this level of rugby for a number of years success for Australia is having boys from the right schools representing us, so we can stand in the old school bars and tell each other how well our schools have done. On a positive note, the CEO got his son in from 2XV Colts so can't all be bad. " and @redmond added to this at post #709: "I must agree although there are players out there who could contribute and be successful at that level. Unfortunately they play for the wrong club, have the wrong post code and attended the wrong school."
I challenged them to name a better halfback than Pulver, who was alleged to have got there on the basis of Dad's influence. In addition, @Brian Westlake offered the following suggestions:
All of the alternates nominated by @Brian Westlake are already in the squad, less Jack Johnson.
So from all of U20 rugbydom, Natoli and Johnson have suffered from attending the wrong school, living in the wrong post code, or registering with the wrong club.
Didn't realise that Manly, Randwick, St Augustines (ISA) and Waverley (CAS) represented the wrong club, postcode or school.
The inevitable has happened. NZ win 54 - 7 with 8 tries, to move through to the Semi finals round.
Aus confirmed in the 5th to 8th playoffs.
Sundays games:
Playoff 9-12

Aus (5) v Sam (8)
Wal (6) v Fra (7)

Stop your whinging!I must add that the English benefited from the referee who in all seriousness cost us the game.
The soapies were better on the night.
