Is it not happening in 2023, or has it just not been announced yet? Took until May 2022 to announce the July 2022 competition on the Sunshine Coast.The lack of an Oceania Comp this year for the U20’s leading into an U20’s RWC could well leave the Junior Wobs well underdone in meaningful game time, but that shouldn’t be Wests’ problem to fix.

I don't understand why we don't have an U20 Rugby Championship as they do in the 6 nations? Is it lack of money, lack of interest? Seeing the U20 Aus, NZ, SA and Arg teams do battle would almost be as interesting as the main event and ensures regular fixtures on a yearly basis. Aus could still play in an Oceania comp at a different time of year.The lack of an Oceania Comp this year for the U20’s leading into an U20’s RWC could well leave the Junior Wobs well underdone in meaningful game time, but that shouldn’t be Wests’ problem to fix.
Maybe because the 6 nations is a stone throw travel schedule from each other - no need to lodge and travel halfway across the world which Aus, Nz, Arg & RSA would all have to commit too.I don't understand why we don't have an U20 Rugby Championship as they do in the 6 nations?

SouthernX answered this, but my understanding is it's not happening. The tournament was previously played around Easter and involved Japan, Fiji, NZ and Aus. It was a pretty handy warmup tournament leading into the Junior RWC which is generally a June/July competition. Hopefully they can organise a few games against some senior teams from QPR/SS before heading off to South Africa, might be a little tricky given those comps will be midseason, maybe against whoever has a bye?Is it not happening in 2023, or has it just not been announced yet?

Suzie?Crusaders training at Wests today, any chance one of the Wests’ supporters can get there and spike a few water bottles? Might be our only chance for Friday.
