World Rugby u20 Championship

[Leonormous Boozer]

Scraped by Japan. Next year should be stronger and the year after stronger again if my limited knowledge of Leinster schools rugby is something to go by, which it probably isn't.

Could do with hiring the two England pathway coaches that have just been fired IMO.

Georgia should set up an industry exporting facial hair.

There's some talent in the next age group. Centre from Munster, flanker, second row, tighthead and flyhalf from Leinster in particular.

Who are the tighthead and flyhalf?

Who are the tighthead and flyhalf?

Milne and Hawkshaw.

Milne and Hawkshaw.

Is Hawkshaw still seen as a 10? Byrne is still underage next year so would think he'd be at 10.

Milne is a beast. Hopefully he does well at club next year, Aungier was destroyed at scrum time in 1A so it's no real surprise he hasn't been great there.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Saffa U20's playing so lovely adventurous rugby to fully make use of the 10 min sin bin.

Not sure but with Munster signing Joey Carbery, there's an opening there.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

England u20 tactics, against best side at turning over the ball send in an isolated forward to 2 French forwards...

 

[Groundhog]

I really don't rate Harry Byrne and don't see any evidence he'll make a step up. I know it's a harsh comment about a guy of 19, but I don't see him holding onto the 10 jersey. Have heard rumblings about Hawkshaw for a while. Also heard good things about the Glenstal 10 (Casey I think) and I think the centre Snoop is referring to is PBC's Seán French, but the other PBC centre Wren is rated too. All are academy guys now, so I hope it's okay to throw names out.
EDIT: Milne looks like an absolute unit for his age. Jaysus.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

How the **** is that not a yellow!? You couldn't get a more blatant taking a player in the air

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

That's a yellow all day long. Red if he'd landed any differently.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Tackler didn't release

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Englands loosehead is a liability

 

[ratsapprentice]

High quality rugby.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Tackle attempt was fine

 

[ratsapprentice]

Play on.

Arms and committed before the kick.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Nothing wrong with that tackle at all,
Head down and driving before he kicked the ball, attempted to wrap but he hit him so low he flipped over before he had opportunity

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Never late FFS

Refs are so crap nowadays
