Lovely try by the Italians

Lovely try by the Italians

Am I confused, isn't the match starting now?

Well the Scottish certainly seem to think that. Unless somehow I was watching a different Italy-Scotland U20 game before kickoff... I think I must have been, ha. Comment still stands, Scottish U20's still performing as badly as they did against Italy in whatever the hell I was watching.

On iPlayer now, 37 mins in

Darn. Italy should have iced the game there before halftime, knocking on 5 yards out.

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

27-13 to Italy. I'm a little disappointed tbh given they won by 40 points in the same fixture last year on neutral ground. Still, should be on track for 3rd or 4th?

Wales capitulated against France after having a man sent off.

 

[BenniMarco]

How is Italy's record in this competition? Is their season this and last season evidence that we may see a competitive Italy coming some point soon? Great to see them manage 2 wins here.

England v Ireland on now.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

It's hard to say - Italy's u20s have looked much better than their seniors for a few seasons now
Some of those players are filtering into the senior side but until they're in mid-to-senior level roles it's hard to know whether the strong youth performances translate to a strong senior level player

Not just the Engish men, but the English women and English children too

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Giving Ireland free rein at the breakdown.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Some absolutely embarrassing one on one tackling from England

What a finish by King!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

This King lad is massive, I thought he was a backrower until I saw the 23 on his back

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Good day for us Irish folk

Good day for us Irish folk

Another chance for us Irish to beat "them" tomorrow.... I think the minis game is on iPlayer at midday. They were gonna play it at Allianz Park, but the police said they weren't ready to handle the much larger than usual crowds

Anyway, hard to see an England win in it either. Ireland have some serious big units - must be a couple of them at least 3' 6".

Bench looked far better than the starters, but not exactly a vintage u20s crop
The nepotism players (Grayson, Chessum, Joseph) look good, while the ultra nepotism (Brooke) was completely anonymous - Nye Thomas, as the only Sale player, was comfortably the best player on the paddock despite only being on there for 9mins

So why did the bench players lose by even more than the starters?
