2023 World Rugby U20 Championship

Lots of OomPB sweat, tears and footsteps around that rugby field at Gim. Stayed just a block from Gim.

There was no stream of the Argentina v Italy game on YouTube, but I found the highlights.

Aus vs Fiji going down to the wire.

Fiji lead by 1 against 14 man Aus with 13 to play

Class from a 14 man Aus who come home strong.

46-37 Aus win over Fiji.

Going by the comments on Twitter, Isaiah Ravula-Armstrong had an excellent game for Fiji.

Presumably the Eng v Ire draw will ensure both go through to top 4, assuming others in their pool aren't top threats?

I can't find any match stats for the U20s games. World Rugby only produces empty pages in their match centre. Are there stats anywhere else? I've already checked ESPN. Nada.

Only the rugby.com.au website has some, but they don't include player stats.

@Rapido Australia and Fiji are the other teams.

@Stargazer I wonder if they might be working on adding some more information in the match centre - I used to get an empty page too, but now I get transported to an U20 game from 2009.

So almost an improvement, I guess

Stargazer

@bobily2 Yeah, it looks like they're working on it.

That same screen has now changed into Italy v South Africa.

Big win for the Argies

Just looked at the stats on Rugbypass and Italy received a red card in the 14th minute. That probably doesn't tell the whole story, but still quite significant.

Yeah, glad they finally came to the party although they are only covering some matches.

The other games which are available on YouTube are geo blocked in Australia for whatever reason, but a VPN gets around this.

Yeah, watched the highlights

Deserved red but huge impact on match
