Wales U20s vs NZ U20s Junior Rugby World Cup Semi Final...

Game over...!

If they could defeat NZ twice in this tournament, it would be incredible. Beating them once is already a massive achievement, but I'd so love for these young lads to make the final. Would be a massive boost to them mentally I think.

You think having beaten them once they would have been lucky enough to miis out on facing them again until the final but never mind lets hope the boys can do it.

They seem to be an ever improving side.

Still waiting to find out who the team are for today.

Really looking forward too this. Hopefully its a cracker!

GReat clearance and chase by Ross Jones, Kiwi Knock on and Wales put in at the scrum

Wales pack slightly lighter than the JABs

Wales shoved NZ back about five metres but ref says both teams went up and resets scrum...!!

Bizzarre decision by the ref...?

Welsh scrum on fire so far

Same again, WAles shove the ABs back ten metres this time we get a penalty... Prydie is going to take the kick

Samson Lee looks superb.


The new Adam Jones????


Prydie is on target

3 - 0 Wales 3:38 mins gone

3-0

Baby Blacks at suxes & sivins...

cool accent!

Good defence by Wales, couple of good turn overs already.

Very Conservative box kick and chase tactics.

McKenzie the ABs 15 looks vulnerable

smAll Blacks look nervy

what's with us kicking away turnover ball?! too long, tis like watching the senior side again.

Hamilton is playing brilliantly so far.

Huge turn over on the Kiwi 22.. Great tackle by Luke Hamilton the Welsh and Blues number 6

Never kick turn over ball >_< . C'mon Morgan!

6 - 0

Lush kick by Prydie.

6-0.

Keep it going!

Prydie taking a second penalty, making it look very very easy...

6 - 0 Wales....

14:02 mins gone

Very impressed with speed of our defence so far

Wales using Habberfields high box kick as a predominant tactic, McKensie took the catch, passed to the centre and the flanker knocked on at the ruck...

Scrum Wales around the left of half way...

Cheering for scrums like they're a pen!

Good scrum by ABs, early hit... but flankers were offside and thats what the ref has picked up...

Prydie steps up again, just inside the kiwi half 49m out...

misses.

Big kick this....


and miss

oooof that pen was so close to going over. Good effort again from Prydie.

kiwi drop out 22 taken clean by centre allen...

its all on now..

ball going through the hands...


third phase holding on pen to ABs

sorry it was crossing not holding on...

another turn over, this time from lineout

great line out steal by wales but Habberfield kicks out on the full

good catch Walker

Welsh player tackled in the air (not badly but still you can't do it). Pen Wales. Twp from NZ there.

taken out in the air by ABs

Morgan kicks penalty up field, great welsh line out... we are on their 22... knock on Abs kick long

Well done Morgan, not getting isolated

The commentator has called NZ Australia twice now o.O

Yeah I noticed that too... SH is SH I suppose

Heard that too.

Wales look so sharp and ready to play, hang on.....

22 mins gone still 6-0 to wales and we are playing well..

Kiwi comentators are saying that the Abs are making careless and uncharacteristic mistakes

Great Tackle by Welsh 13...

even better tackle by mat morgan on the kiwi number eight before... just shown in the replay

that was a naughty tackle by our FB, tipped him a bit don't you think?

Lazy tackle by Morgan, he REALLY needs to work on that

wales on their line, Abs giving it everything they can, Wales backline offside penalty to NZ

Yes I thought a bit of a Tip too

6-3
