NZ U20 v Australia U20 (World Rugby U20 Championship)

[Stargazer]

Cooper Flanders again not on the team sheet.
And some players just can't get out of the starting XV.

If this is what Laidlaw is going to serve up (Foster Lite) then Canes fans could be in for a harsh reality...

Annan returns as Junior Wallabies prepare for trans-Tasman 'decider' with New Zealand U20s

Japanese ref so far out of his depth it’s not funny

[KiwiMurph]

@Steven-Harris what a peacock he is too

[KiwiMurph]

Tom Allen red carded. A long road ahead for NZ U20s

[KiwiMurph]

Cripes now a separate yellow.

[Steven Harris]

@KiwiMurph is that a 20 minute red or for the full duration ..?

[KiwiMurph]

@Steven-Harris Full red. No 20 minute.

We're fucked then.

[Steven Harris]

@KiwiMurph our cleaning has been poor , but this official just lets the Aussie players go off their feet 🤷🏻‍♂️

[KiwiMurph]

@Victor-Meldrew Oh yes.

Now Godfrey puts the restart out on the full

[KiwiMurph]

That's such a bad error when you are down to 13 men. Basically guaranteed to concede a penalty from the halfway scrum.

[akan004]

I don't know why players still attempt such dangerous tackles when it's a guaranteed red. So dumb.

[KiwiMurph]

20-12 to Aus after 29 mins

[Steven Harris]

I’ve not been impressed with Hotham , just shows you what an armchair ride he gets at the Saders ..

[Steven Harris]

WTF Godfrey , why kick the ball..?

[KiwiMurph]

@Steven-Harris Yeah he's got some lazy habits in his game does Hotham

[KiwiMurph]

Aus are great over the ball

[Steven Harris]

@KiwiMurph so good it almost looks illegal
