Under-20 Competitions including Oceania & World U20s

Should also add that I thought Aus 12 was exceptional last night. Be interested to see if they team him up with Pekeho for the match vs Italy.

Malakye Enasio. Was a late call up for the injured Pakeho. He and Jarrah Mcleod could make a solid centre for the Brumbies in the future.

And Kadin Pritchard?

conway looks the goods considering he only turned 18 this year, same with langi i think. That year group has the younger fowler, uys and a mob a players that reds have already signed up on long-term development deals. Some positive signs for the next few years

rollerskates in the first half but much better/parity in the 2nd.

I was surprised in the difference across the field in physical development of the Aus side, it really looked like boys vs men

 

[Adam84]

really, i didn't think so.. didn't reflect boys vs men on the scoreboard in the end either

they had a couple of bigger locks, outside of that was fairly on par

Really wasn't expecting this...

Bring on SA!

His dad was an Aussie NRL winger in the 90s

He's a serious talent, hopefully he's at least on the radar going forward.

It's a rare surname - probably dutch, but spelled with a "j" instead of "y" in the old country.

Sharples was easily outplayed by the Saffa No 9. Martens looked a lot sharper when he came on and I believe was clearly the better of the two during the last set of U20s games here. I don't think they are pretty close at all.

On your question about who would replace him, I don't have any idea. The only U20s games I see are those on tv. I have no idea about the quality of players at that age going around in the various capital city competitions but there are many on here who say there are better.

Lachlan Smith, currently at the Brumbies, has a great pass, solid defender and a great attacking threat. Shane they didn’t take 3 scrum halfs

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

I wouldn’t consider this is a strong age for that position in comparison to the 9s of last years 18s and what will be in this years top 18s rep sides.

 

[Backintheolddays]

Lachy Smith just needs two years of Mooseheads and Private Bin to put on 20kg then he’s your man.

We have ex Aus18s half Luke Aiken playing in the Auckland system/ blues 20s as well. A lot of similarities to your Smiths, Cortez Ratima's, Kalani Thomas' of the world.
