[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 602228, member: 48703"] Just revisiting this argument. I was reminded recently of the last U21 vs national team match in 2007 with New Zealand U21 who were by far the leading junior side at the time and a highly experimental Canada side. Yet Canada came out on top, away from home against a side that had about 10 future internationals in it and virtually all at least got a Super Rugby career.

Japan would have easily beaten Wales U20. [/QUOTE]
