Even then though, Rorke wouldn't be Super Rugby level and the second tier in our game is basically not paid while in rugby league it is.

This game is getting ugly fast. 41-0 inside half an hour.

13 was an unlucky number. Red cards for the #13's for both New Zealand and Tonga

Saturdays game should be a cracker.
Both NZ and AUS ended up with similar score lines against Fiji and Tonga. So on that form it should be a close match.

Few random thoughts on the match.
Team last night started really well. Showed lots of skill and speed and some very good structures.
The game was always going to be an easy and big win to AUS, the first 40 points went on so quickly, I thought we would easily pass 100.
To their credit Tonga, put some phases together for period late in the first half and put a tempory brake on the scoring.
And they scored a try after pressuring the Aus line.
But Aus did resume their domination and went on to score 15 trys to 1.
Good mix of Forward tries and some great slick moves from the backs.
Hosea was outstanding and MOM IMO.
Hosea and Hockings will be a strong combination in the Locks. Hockings a very good line out specialist.
McTaggart was a standout in the backs.
Thought Harrison made the most of his late call up at 10. He has a nice pass and does organise the backs we'll. (not sure what happened to Kunzel who was originally named)

55-15.
I didn't see the whole game but was pretty impressed with a lot of our players.
The continuity and passing between both forwards and backs was very good and looked far better than last year's team at the JWC.
Harrison looked really good in general play at 10 and has a thumping boot. His goal kicking was poor though so if he's the starting 10 at the tournament we need to find a better kicker. Goal kicking was crucial last year.
Latu at 13 was really impressive and McTaggart finished well.
The whole forward pack were pretty good with Hosea having a standout game.

Fiji were in that game for a good while. Was 10-3 late in the first half.
Fiji helped by a red card, I thought was pretty hash, as the Fijian tried to hurdle the 13.
NZ threatened every time they had the ball, very fast and great handling skills. Fiji did a lot of scrambling defence.
NZ back row played very loose, 6 & 7 played very wide.
NZ 8 was a standout and red head hooker not bad either.
Actually saw Plummer miss a few goals, unfortunately a feat he was unable to perform 2 years ago.

Thanks HJ.
Forgive me if I missed an explanation in an earlier post, but why has Aust jersey sleeve sponsor been taped over / covered up?

Is Latu, any relation to Tolu? I notice they both play at Uni.

I am not sure, but I thought it was a world cup.
Seems that jumper mustn't comply and shouldn't have world cups on the sleeve. (I am not sure why U20 would have it}

It is. Perhaps as this isn't a WR (World Rugby) event they aren't permitting to overtly display WR (World Rugby)'s logo and branding.

I assume given the perilous financial state of RA they only got one set of jumpers for the U20 to be used at both the Oceania challenge and the world cup and they need to logo for the world cup

Against such a weak Tongan side everybody should've stood out but didn't, I thought some were very lazy.
