Is it on fox?

some law variations:
even closed law trials will be in effect at the upcoming World Rugby U20 Championship in Georgia which kicks off on Wednesday, 31 May in Tbilisi and Kutaisi.
The trials will run alongside five (open) global law trials that came into effect on 1 January, 2017 in the Southern Hemisphere and will come into effect in the northern hemisphere from 1 August, 2017. The closed trials, which are focused around the scrum and breakdown, will also be in effect at the Nations Cup and the U20 Trophy in Uruguay.
The seven law trials are:
  • No signal from referee prior to put-in at scrum
  • Scrum-half must throw the ball in straight but can align left shoulder with the middle of the tunnel
  • Allowing the number eight to pick from the feet of the second row
  • Compulsory striking by the hooker after throw-in to scrum
  • Tackle only and offside line creation (Tackler, tackled player and at least one player on their feet and over the ball creates the offside line)
  • A player cannot kick the ball out of the ruck – can only hook it back
  • Tackler must get up before playing the ball and then can only play from his side of the tackle gate
Speaking as the U20 Championship gets set for kick-off, World Rugby High Performance 15s Match Official Manager Alain Rolland said: “These closed law trials were successfully implemented at the Americas Rugby Championship and the Pacific Challenge this year with some positive results, so we’re eager to see how they feature at the U20 Championship over the coming weeks.
“Around the scrum, we want to see more ball-out, less penalties, a decrease in the amount of reset and collapsed scrums. We’re hoping to see a positive approach from teams and coaches and the aim is to see more ball in play.”
Feedback and statistics will be reviewed by World Rugby at the completion of the tournaments.
Meanwhile the global law trials, which were introduced in January, focused on front-row replacements (for uncontested scrums), advantage, touch, penalty tries and time-keeping.

Not sure about that HB! However here's the live stream link posted on the U20 Championship- world Rugby site, once it's streamed you can click on replay at a time

I wouldn't be 100% sure that the broadcasts aren't geoblocked in countries where a TV network owns the rights.

That is usually the case with things like Sevens.

I know G&G rightfully doesn't approve of this stuff, but if and when Foxtel aren't streaming particular games there's plenty of good VPN browser add-ons that solve the issue.

I pay for Foxtel, and I refuse not to have access to content I've paid for and they've chosen not to screen.

Using a VPN isn't illegal. There's no issue talking about that.

Talking about websites that provide illegal streams is against the forum rules though.

I use a VPN at home. It has been very useful for watching the World Rugby 7s when they aren't showing games on Foxtel.

On the team sheet, only suprise is Goddard over Nucifora for me. That is the side we've been looking for and is the best on paper. Good luck to the boys, we have all of our best out there let's see them go!

Yeah pretty good on paper. Walker, Goddard and McNamara surprise selections, but good luck to the boys, hope they gel.

Is that JP Sauni, former Rebel U20 playing for NZ?


EDIT: Yep, can't complain too much given Uelese, his direct competitor is the starter for Australia, but no one else having picked him up is a shame.

Final score 42-20 Kiwis way, which I'm reasonably happy with, "worst" team (80% of which is an experience thing) that we've put out since 2013.
