Ireland 24 - 35 Wales
France 40 - 3 Italy
Scotland 24 - 3 England
Not caught anything of the first two, but got up to watch the SRUs stream of the last one. This is definitely one of the best age grade Scots squads in the professional era. England's kicker was good, and the power in the scrum on the 2nd shove was immense, but otherwise they were outplayed by us on both defence and attack. We've got forwards big enough to compete, and having 3 playmakers at 10, 13 and 15 lends itself to the expansive game.
Be prepared Joeys, the Jocks are coming!

Can't see these U20 games on Foxtel or ESPN programming. Just the seniors six nations games seem to be televised.
@highlander, can you post details of the online links for watching these?

Ireland v Wales was covered by one of the Irish Broadcasters, haven't found an online outlet.
Don't know if France v Italy was covered at all.
As for the Jocks win:
Skip ahead about 10 minutes for the match itself.

Reds U20's team for the curtain raiser to the Reds vs Crusaders trial, obviously missing a few players who are included in the Reds trial squad like Mack Mason and Maclean Jones.
Good to see some names in the Reds U20s that many interstate "Trainspotters" wouldn't know.
Shows that there is some depth developing in the Colts programmes, and that bolters without a full schoolboy scrapbook do get a fair go.

I've posted some photos from yesterday's Reds U20 v Darling Downs game on Flickr and in the Reds 2016 thread.

Haven't got a list of who scored tries, but from memory it included Fittock (x2), Dorrough (x2), Tualima, Asiata, Riley, McNamara

RebelYell, any details on the players? Obviously can't read too much into the result itself, but could be relevant for player selection especially in terms of injury.

How does a score like this benefit Rebels or Tasmania...

Is that Jack McGregor with the crutches and the strapped knee on the right of the photo?
Any scores, team lists or other info from the games at Burraneer?

No feedback from the NSW u20 game this weekend?? Were there any spectators or was everyone at the Sevens?

^^^ Look, I saw most of the game time (not all- had to leave early), but theirs not a lot to report as far as I'm concerned. It was very scrappy all around. The country boys had only had their first team run the day prior, but the 20s and 19s certainly didn't outshine them. The city boys should have done better in my opinion, given their apparently months of preparation.
There were 3 x 40 minute halves, with a drinks break at the 20 minute mark. Like I said - it was hot, sweaty, slippery, rusty and scrappy. Lots of dropped ball. I didn't keep score. Roughly, the 20s were a bit better than the 19s who were a bit better than the Country lads. I think. Someone may like to correct me on that 'impression' I have of the scoring situation.
Im not willing to name names of those who played well, as I don't know enough of them
And not many did. I'm also not keen to name those who didn't, as I think pretty much everyone had a shocker. Nobody in any position really shone out, for mine. Looked like there were a lot of cobwebs to be cleared and I hope they aren't judging any of the players based on that hit out alone...
Other commentators who saw the whole day. Like to add anything...?
