    Interestingly, on the pre-match lineup image the NZ U20s coach was mentioned to be 'Chris Boyd', although the commentator referred to Hoeata and Robertson as the side's co-coaches.

    Anyone heard anything more about this?

      Stupid from Solomon. Could have been a straight red.

        Well, Simpson's definitely not used to playing fullback. His positioning is all over the place. Smart from Italy to put as much pressure on him as possible.

          Jeez, the interruptions in this game are insane. Game 35 minutes in, 22 mins of play.

            I don't know why Wallace was subbed. NZ scrum is very poor since then.

                I saw he was getting treatment before a stoppage so I assume he's injured. Unfortunate because he was looking good.

                    I mean, Will Cole also just vomited all over the pitch before halftime, so I assume that both teams are pretty much at their limit.

                      Temperature of 29c. With a feels like 34c. That is some nasty rugby playing conditions.

                        I was thinking Italy were starting to look more disjointed

                          Pledger's passing is very poor.

                            This is a hard watch. Pretty poor

                                  Rico Simpson has a big boot on him.

                                  About the only positive I can see out there.

                                    Horrible performance, poor skills, poor coaching? Maybe they could put a bit more effort into actual game training and less into haka practice🤷‍♂️

                                      Frank Vaenuku is pretty good. That's also... something?
