Just watched this, great performance.  Only question is though, how do people look like that at u20?  They all looked in their 30's!

30 stone, some of them!

Good effort, totally missed it all, the future looks good for us by the looks of it.

19 year olds from Saracens!




clearly a talented team, but the physical advantages some of these lads have, in part from being in full time rugby set ups, are a big boost at u20

it evens out when all the players from every set up are at full maturity.

Interesting approach by New Zealand v Ireland in the 3rd/4th play-off.
I'm pretty sure that they didn't take a single penalty shot at goal.

They were 2 points down a minute before half-time and kicked to touch.
They were still 2 points down in the second half and took a scrum from 10m out in front of the posts and later kicked for touch from near the same position.

This was all in pouring rain.
