I've managed to find some info on the NZ Schoolboy forward pack, take a look Guys & Gals the team is looking pretty formidable!

NZ Schoolboys Coach Jason Holland previews the tournament, and talks about how exciting it is to work with such a talented group of young players.


NZ Schoolboys Forwards pack

FORWARDS
The forwards are an equally daunting prospect. The frighteningly large and talented group of youngsters will take confidence into their contests, particularly against Australia, who they have not lost to at this level in the last five seasons.
Professional rugby will not be far off for a lot of these boys, so don't be surprised if you see them turning out for your favourite Super Rugby sides soon.

This looks like any Oz v NZ match - Australian side plucky and reasonably talented, but executing everything at half the pace the Kiwis can manage.

And the crucial errors... *facepalm*

Aussie Baabaas went okay today. Never stopped trying but just couldn't get through the NZ defence.
