New Zealand Under-20s v Wales Under-20s (Teams/Match thread)
First topic message reminder :
Baby Blacks - Marty McKenzie, Matt Proctor, Marnus Hanley, Opetera Peleseuma, Junior Va'a Tofa, Scott Eade, Bryn Hall, Ofa Tu'ungafasi, Nathan Harris, Eric Sione, Joe Latta, Christian Lloyd, Taniela Manu, Hugh Blake, Jordan Taufua. Replacements - Rhys Marshall, Tuki Raimona, Fraser Armstrong, Nick Ross, Jimmy Tupou, Jono Kitto, Ihaia West, Pita Ahki.
Wales - Ross Jones, Tom Prydie, Cory Allen, Jack Dixon, Eli Walker, Matthew Morgan, Tom Habberfield, Rob Evans, Kirby Myhill, Samson Lee, Cory Hill, Matthew Screech, Luke Hamilton, Ellis Jenkins, Dan Baker. Replacements - Darran Harris, Gareth Thomas, Will John, Rhodri Hughes, Daniel Thomas, Jonothan Evans, Sam Davies, Thomas Pascoe.
* Well probably the best Wales U20s team of the year. A lot of pace in the backline behind a big, strong pack. Shouldn't be a massacre this time then...
Each player is tied to a premiership team and should have been getting regular game time. Others have played in the LV cup for their Regions, Pro12 and in some cases the Heineken Cup. Capped international Prydie and Tom Habberfield have played for Wales in the IRB Sevens Series and showed up very well. I think Ponty 2nd row Cory Hill is the captain, he has looked pretty handy in the games I've seen him play. Each need to show up well and overcome any psychological barrier if they are to stay within reach of New Zealands school-boys. Good luck boyo's.
** Baby Blacks undefeated for 5 years fall to U20 Six Nations fourth placed Wales. Well done boyo's. Complete turnaround from previous years. Still don't agree with the 14 players not being released for that Six Nations though.

Dan Thomas on and wins the ball at the breakdown... Gotta be fair these conditions have helped us more than NZ. I can't remember an U20 game being played in conditions like these.

Welsh scrum in NZ half - they need to press for the penalty.

Profitus, Habberfield has been the general of this Wales team today. He has kicked it a bit too often though.

I agree, Haberfield has been good - especially with Morgan kicking poorly.
Samson Lee wins the penalty, and Prydie is going for it rather than Morgan.

Brilliant kick
6 - 9 Wales
15mins to go.
This could be a huge win for the U20s
NZ havent lost at U20s for 4 years!

Haberfield's catching has been brilliant too - he has really played the conditions well if you ask me.

To be the team that beats them for the first time in 4 years, especially after last years drubbing would be huge.
A draw at least should be on the cards as it looks like the score will be divisible by 3.

Nope. Top seeded Group winner plays the team that qualifies as best runner up. Odds are that those will be from this group.
