2016 World Rugby U20 Championship

[TRF_stormer2010]

Think it will be England vs Ireland in final. Would make my day if it could be SA vs Ire, but I just don't see us beating England. Arg could give Ireland a go, but I think Ireland will win a close game.

I'd be pleasantly surprised if we managed to edge out Engand as well.

Ireand seem to be doing a number on Argentina (who fiddled us in the pool).

Well, there is hope while we're in it. I just don't think our forwards are as good as in past years and I don't think the few classy players we have are enough to make up for that and our poorish defense. On the bright side we can always blame quotas and the ref.

 

[Peat]

Loved the Calum Clark impression from Blue 17 there.

We always play awful in semifinals:

2007 WC - massacred by SA
2012 U20 WC - massacred by SA again
2015 WC - awful game vs AUS

And now this rubbish. BTW In all cases we suffered at least one interception try lol

 

[Jaguares]

A solid performance of the Irish team. I really like its number 8

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Leinster's pack in 3-4 years is going to be sweet if this is anything to go by. Deegan, Ryan and Porter are hot.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Great try!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Lovely try

And who gets the turnover?

 

[ratsapprentice]

Great start.

Really like Boyce.

Singleton showing more in 6mins than Walker all tournament

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Bloody hell, again. England vs Ireland Final it is.

Singleton showing more in 6mins than Walker all tournament

If only he could fill the actual roles of a hooker.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Lineout went well enough a few mins ago,
Walker was poor in the lineout last game and doesn't hook, so it's not like he's a shining example.

 

[Which Tyler]

Saffer 13 a lucky, lucky boy

If I was Les Kiss I'd be offering Deegan a full pro contract.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Good decision by the ref.

 

[Which Tyler]

Good decision by the ref.

In what way? looked to me like he landed on his head; so a red card, regardless of intent (AKA shut up Dewi).

Good for the game and the spectacle; but poor application of the law (unless I missed an angle whilst sorting the BBQ).

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Another lovely try

I don't disregard intent in virtually any situation.

Boyce playing really well.

 

[Which Tyler]

But the laws do; the point being to take that decision out of the ref's hands.
I agree that the law is an arse; but it's still the law.

 

[ratsapprentice]

I'm not contesting that, just that I was happy with the decision... haven't watched it back though, so maybe I'd feel differently if I did.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Could the ref have given both yellows?
