FWDs have been superb with their handling in these conditions.

[Tichtheid]

Just wait till Tuilagi grows into his frame

PS the french team is looking at his weight...

He may be carrying a good deal of excess weight, but making a 20m drive through countless defenders after 67 minutes is impressive

[laurent]

That's because he is hungry now.

They told him there were pies under the posts

[Tichtheid]

Kiwi 7 has had a good game

[Torquemada 1420]

NZ whooping.

Take a look at the scoreboard lads.

[Torquemada 1420]

Hard on Jauneau.

[Torquemada 1420]

Really good effort. NZ had the weather entirely in their adv too with it disappearing after 1/2 time.

Jauneau and Reus barely put a foot wrong at half backs.

I really like Nouchi although I think he is better suited at lock.

[Torquemada 1420]

Welsh are losing to Japan

[ASMO]

How is it that these pitches are so bad, a premium tournament being played on pitches that most small town clubs would be ashamed of

[sockwithaticket]

Who the fuck is drilling the Irish tackle technique?

2 red cards in 2 matches for them and this one got completely ignored during the game. Would've thought it's a cast iron citing.

TBF, I think the weather has been the main culprit.

Meantime Wales receive a get out of jail card as Japan picked up a red at start of game.

Paarl Gims pitch is usually intop condition. However we had three weeks of non stop rain. Markotter Stadium in Stellenbosch two weekends ago



and as you can see there is a good crowd in. Much better then a big stadium with no crowd

[OomStruisbaai]

Italy score and our PoC get yellowed.

It's the rainy season in the western cape, like it is every June. It was always going to turn into a mud-fest.

They should have played these games in the highveld. There are plenty of schools and clubs with the facilities.

[laurent]

This South African - Italy game is tasty...

Weather is terrible though i hope it's not the same earlier pitch (they are in terrible state).

That's fucking stupid is the rest of the comp played there ?

[OomStruisbaai]

Bokkies need to run it with that backs.

They also play at Craven Stadium at Stellenbosch and Athlone Stadium in Cape Flats. There are 5 rugby fields at Paarl Gim.

[OomStruisbaai]

Great Jorenza Julius, he should be use to this , working on a potato farm at Paul Roos

[OomStruisbaai]

On a normal winters schoolboy rugby saturday morning the u14A, 15A,16A & u18A will play on the A field. We walk line with gum boots on that fields. Its a winter sport. Mud is good for teenagers facial skin.

I don't think any of the French kids played in such a field since their U14 most of them play in top 14 proD2 and would have been at big club by then.

issue here is you have U 20 and that's a lot heavier than U14 (Tuilagi likely ate the team for breakfast).

You probably are right. But then France/England/Italy plays yearly at Paarl Gim with the international series with Tuilagi and what ever man eaters with great success. The 3 weeks rain make it a mud bath as I expected. They had to move some of our provincial schoolboy games on short notice. But fuck me, this is rugby not vokken soccer.

I do prefer watching the U20 on a rather dry pitch the kids run a lot more than the pros and it gets more entertaining.

Baby Boks getting outmuscled by Italy, beaten at their own game. Relentless mauling by the Italians. It's beautiful.

No idea how TF they lost to Arg but it wrecked my FR picks.

[Torquemada 1420]

All 3 SH sides going down on the same afternoon must be a first?

Plus France would haver buried NZ in the dry.

Surely. Italy deserves the win.

Hey we are NH.

Just WOW

[Tichtheid]

Well done Italy!

[laurent]

They won their world cup...

[clydecloggie]

Meanwhile, Georgia are 20-0 up against Argentina. Group C is mental but there's a good chance that the winner of Italy - Georgia will go into the SF.
