Shoulder I believe against the Force. It was a disputed one at the time when Eloff came back on to win the scrum for the game but legit hurt himself seriously

Got to feel for the group that missed out last year due to COVID .
A few names have come through regardless, the likes of Tizzano , Rory Scott and Ollie Callan. They didn’t get a chance to show what they can do on a world stage within the U20’s age group , but have kicked on with their Super Rugby careers.

Any word on Dion Samuela? He was excellent for Aus Schools and I noticed he was included in some of the earlier squads, but seems to have been left out of the Oceania team.
Not a whole lot better this year. They'll get to play a few games but a far cry from a world championship.

Yeah the under 20 world champs is one of my favourite events each year. I have missed it big time

Was named as a fresh reserve for Bond on the weekend. I've not seen the game though.
he's started a few games - mostly on the wing. It would seem he hasn't made the most of his opportunities however

Would say he has been surpassed by Mac Grealy for the 15 jersey.
The games I’ve seen of him this year he has been on the wing rather than 15 and not sure he possesses enough top end speed to play there at higher levels. His change of speed and direction is impressive, but not so his top end speed.
The Oceania matches between the Junior Wallabies and the junior All Blacks will be played at The Canal at 7.30pm on Tuesday, July 6, and Saturday, July 10.

Good to see RA finally getting the details public.
Understand there would have been some hold back in case the event didn’t go ahead, but it’s been almost invisible. Don’t understand why you wouldn’t promote this more. They had footage up yesterday on Instagram of the U20 RWC final of 2019 to promote the coming France Tests ……….wouldn’t have been too much trouble to mention we have a team that is going to have a run this year…..

it's only just been confirmed. It's hard to organise international events this day and age. I think you can cut them some slack

Are the Kiwis already here? Is the squad already in camp, including the Waratahs boys?

The squad went into camp yesterday, including those from Sydney, they were brought up early and trained with the Reds Academy last week.
Don’t think the Kiwis are here yet, which could well be a problem depending on how cases go in Qld over the next few days. The NZ government has put a pause on the travel bubble for three days and will then reassess.

Is it canceled or postponed?It's off apparently. No great surprise, but still a shitter.
