[@maffrose]

Many things not to like about it. Same dumb things, players with ball in hand celebrating before try is scored. Trying to run the ball out from own line in these conditions. Carrying the ball with one hand. Lucky for a few moments of magic. Winger bombs a try then scores one but doesnt run the ball towards the posts. I.Q levels not good

[@DavidSmith-yi8ou]

@@maffrose compared to last year progress has been made in the areas of concern. The forwards. Not worried about the backs being too flash Harry as NZ has plenty of depth in those areas. I needed to see a big improvement in the tight forwards and this was a good start against a big pack.

Not to mention how dangerous it is to play in such terrible conditions.

[@MarsFKA]

If you think the conditions here were terrible, do a search for the 1975 Water Polo Test at Eden Park. Or the 1977 Lions/Junior All Blacks game at Athletic Park. Or any wet-weather game that was ever played before the era of manicured, multi-million-dollar playing fields. At least, in the game in this video, everyone finished still clean.

[@Waywind420]

I'm a strong believer that the under 20's is where players cement a ''winning'' mindset that serves them well throughout their careers. I think this tournament is undervalued and if it were me as an international coach i'd be requesting pro-rugby clubs feed a handful of U20 prospects professional caps throughout their seasons and then these teams with the absolute best of the best. Wallabies under 20's could have max jorgensen, a bloke with 2 super rugby seasons and who's been to a literal world cup. It was the same deal with Jordan Petaia, he'd played in the Rugby world cup at age 18-19 and they never let him go back and play with the under 20's. Imagine how inspiring it would be for 17-18-19 year olds in the squad to be playing with a world cup international player

[@sizla8837]

The rivalry that never ends

[@nocaphen]

Wouldve liked to see more coverage of the south african u20s. Surely they had more ball than what it showed. Dont mind the nz highlights but for what the game was and how it turned out, there was a lot more in it than it seemed. The hit on solomon from the s.a midfielder was tuuff!! Good to see both nations competing at a high level regardless of the conditions. Great footy to watch!

[@JaemanEdwards]

If they're anything like their senior team there was nothing to show for the majority of the game until a tin arse try appears out of nowhere.

[@nocaphen]

@@JaemanEdwards for sure, but there's some young players in that team are regarded the next best thing. Playing in their domestic league and in the United championship. Just like we have an eye out for our local youth becoming the next best winger or forward for our ABs development. I generally do enjoy the south african play, sometimes it's just hard to watch when they play our abs because they know how to eliminate our strengths once their ball is rolling.

You have to understand it’s not as simple as kicking for touch and scoring, they aren’t playing against some team they playing against a team who has the skill to defend. That is why you take the easy points whenever you have the chance because if you don’t and don’t score you’ll lose more ground

@@kagontlemotene8525 Negative attitude. I'll repeat, NZ would not have done it. They would have kicked to touch into the opposition's territory and tried to win the game from there. They have a winning mindset and it's tragic to see our youngsters not having the same confidence.

Response to the comment on SA team and government quotas. What's sad about the comment is that we have players of colour that have signed contracts with big French rugby teams, but they not looked as "quotas players" only on South Africa are these deemed not good enough enough due to their skin colour. It's very sad to read such comments being directed at these players. Whya can't their talents be accepted and their mistakes tolerated on the basis that it's a normal player error as opose to their skin colour. As a rugby and sports fan, it's shocking. Frencn national rugby team and others have plenty of non white players but they not looked as the same way the South Africans are perceived.😢😢😢

[@dn822]

There are definitely quotas in South african sport. Especially at school level. My kids played for provincial where that provincial side could not even beat schools in that province. There are very good black players end even more coming up in the school systems. We will soon have the best teams playing that would represent our demography.
