@NTA Haven't your juniors beaten us frequently in the last few years?

I believe so, but going off the tournament so far, well...

Hoping that tiny little rain patch off the coast stays there.

@Tim

2017: New Zealand 43 - 6 Australia (Oceania U20)
2018: New Zealand 43 - 28 Australia (Oceania U20)
2018: New Zealand 27 - 18 Australia (World Rugby U20 Championship)
2019: New Zealand 0 - 24 Australia (Oceania U20)
2020 & 2021: cancelled

IIRC, the Aussies schoolboys have beaten us more often, the last few years.

[Stargazer]

Just tuned in to the Fiji v Argentina game, which is about to start. Good news: it's not raining!

[Stargazer]

Argentina beat Fiji 61 - 5.

The NZ v Australia game has just started.

[KiwiMurph]

Poor first scrum NZ

[KiwiMurph]

Lovely play. Forward phase play looking good.

[Stargazer]

That was an awesome team try. Sititi dotted down, but in the lead up a lot of players were involved and passing well.

[Stargazer]

Cashmore converts.

7 - 0 NZ

Eight minutes in and I'm starting to believe you.

[KiwiMurph]

Cashmore is class

[Stargazer]

Another great set-up team try. Higgins scoring the try.

Cashmore converts.

14 - 0 NZ

[KiwiMurph]

Brilliant work from the halfback. First the kick then the run.

[Stargazer]

Beautiful individual try from Noah Hotham.

[Stargazer]

Commentator says that the Highlanders have signed Hotham.

[Crazy Horse]

Commentators just said the Highlanders have signed Hotham. Is that right?
