<p>Good question. I hope we get to see some at the U19 tournament and NZ School team later this year.</p> -

<p>Another good team try, scored by Tomkinson. Apart from the scrum, there's not really much to worry about. NZs attacking game is spot on.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Barrett converts and it's 48-24 to NZ with 4 minutes to play.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That 5th place is in the bag.</p> -

<p>that is just sublime passing and support play there. With a better scrum they would blow away any team U20 playing as they're playing in that 2nd half</p>

<p>Agree. They're playing really well.</p> -

<p>Awesome try by the NZ replacement halfback to finish the game! Converted by Barrett.</p>

<p>Full time: NZ 55, Australia 24.</p>

<p>Apart from that one loss against Ireland, NZ has won all their games. It's a pity that that doesn't get them further than 5th place, but overall I don't think this has been a bad tournament for NZ. They've played well most of their games (especially the last few games), the only exception being the scrum. Nothing to worry about for the future, well, not much anyway.</p> -
You know how the Irish pack blew us away. They are getting done by the English. The English 9 & 13 look brilliant players.

A good final, home team in the driving seat. England continue to churn out very good u20 teams: skills, pace, strength and awareness throughout this squad. Harry Mallinder must be one of the biggest units to play 10 in an England shirt.

I hadn't realised that England's wing/fullback Matt Gallagher is the son of John Gallagher, of AB fame.

England win 45-21. It's been a good day (a good fortnight, really) to be an English fan.
