Thanks for posting this Portnoy, I'd completely forgotten this was on

Score?

39-15

Total domination from Australia. They must be a contender for the title this year? Looking forward to seeing how Bil's baby boks are later on too.

Fiji gets a penalty and goes for posts

Morgan our playmaker Goosen is out so we have the younger brother of Elton Jantjies at ten, no idea whether he is any good

What was the final score in the scotland game?

67-12 but not done yet

The Sco Oz game has now become very boring. Any skill values are well gone.

Strangely though, the Scots have not been left totally behind in the fitness stakes. I'm surprised.

FT

I'm not as confident of England's chances this year, a few too many players from the optimum side are missing, in particular probably our 4 best, 3 of whom (Ford, Kvesic, Daly) are our most experienced, and the fourth (Watson) probably our most dynamic weapon.

Best of luck to the lads, but I think SA (particularly at home) will probably top our group this year.

We haven't had a good JWC for some time, I don't think our best players are selected. Politics and stuff.

We didn't beat you by much last time though biltongbek and our side isn't as good as last year's crop. Both of us without our best FH options levels things a bit, but I think a home tournament will bring out the best in your lads. Are there any particular players that you think have been overlooked by the selectors, or just a general feel of the set up?

alcoombe I can't prove anthing, but then my experience with our age group rugby has been like that from personal experience with my mate's boys.

It is getting better, but I don't think we will compete at the top.

Anyone who missed the Scotland V Australia game can get it here

Wow. First three matches in the book and all three are total drubbings. Shame.

Australia Under-20s 67 - 12 Scotland Under-20s (FT)
England Under-20s 64 - 5 Italy Under-20s (FT)
New Zealand Under-20s 63 - 0 Samoa Under-20s (FT)

I might be wrong about SA topping the group. One thing is for sure though, this group is going to present a real battle for any of the sides to make the semis. Ireland look like they've stepped up a gear from the 6N.
