World Rugby U20 Championship 2019

It is something of a mystery how QLD manages to churn out so much talent and none of it translates to Super Rugby form.

You can blame the old talent who run the show.

Un-Australian playoffs:

23:30 Saturday AEST England v Wales for fifth, Scotland v Fiji for eleventh
02:00 Sunday SA v Argentina for third, Italy v Georgia for ninth
04:30 Sunday NZ v Ireland for seventh

WR (World Rugby) website now has Ireland v NZ at 2:00, Italy v Georgia at 4:30.

I'm 50/50 as to whether or not I want Scotland to avoid relegation. Losing = bad obviously. But if we were to be relegated, it'd either highlight the relative lack of investment the SRU has put into the Junior System, or push World Rugby to Expand up to 16 teams as the competition really should be.

They Do, they are just playing at the Brumbies lol

anyone seen the French team?

anyone seen the French team?

 

[Dctarget]

Watch out for their fullback Lebel and no.8 Joseph. Lebel has wheels and Joseph is a 30 year old behemoth masquerading as an 18 year old. Also, Carbonel is reserve 10 for Toulon and can and will take penalty shots from anywhere.

SA conceded too many penalties in the semi final and Carbonel duly knocked them over like a metronome, they didn't squander the points on offer like Argentina kindly did with us. I don't think we'll be allowed so many get out of jail free cards.

Anyone watching

 

[The Honey Badger]

Silly penalties

 

[TSR]

This is a cracker of a match.

 

[The Honey Badger]

Not wrong

 

[EagleTown]

Are Australia’s reserve props injured? Why aren’t they being used?

But absolutely brilliant match

 

[The Honey Badger]

Hope Breen tidies up the scrum

 

[EagleTown]

Tough result but the future looks very bright for some of these lads.

 

[TSR]

Not the result we wanted - but gee they fought hard. That was a good French side and their 10 is quite the sharp shooter.

 

[The Honey Badger]

That's disappointing.

AUS was the better team.

 

[The Honey Badger]

Lonergan and Wilson outstanding.

 

[The Honey Badger]

Frost had some nice runs with the ball. But the scrum struggled the moment he came on.
