U20's 6 Nations

Italy currently leading South Africa 31-26 63 mins in, the state of the pitch is dreadful though! Makes Welford Road of a few years back look like a bowling green

Italy have beaten South Africa, what a performance from the Azzurri !

[Darc Tiger]

Azzurini beat the Baby Boks for the first time!

Italy captain (and once linked with Tigers) David Odiase was outstanding, he's some unit as well!

Nearly 2 rounds gone now and the balance seems to have moved away from the southern hemisphere.
Also good to see the 2nd tier nations competing well too, only 1 hammerings so far with the only one being France over Japan

3rd game played on that pitch today and there has been a lot of heavy rain

[Robespierre]

Baby Tuilagi wins player of the match after scoring 2 tries and good all round contribution. He has almost been unplayable in a game played in a swamp.

France winning by 20points with 2 minutes to go

Great result for France, and although I've not seen the highlights (anyone know where can I see them?), it seems to be a convincing win with Baby Tuilagi shining!

Can you get YouTube Robes. It would have been closer had it not been played in a paddy field

Yes!

Dreadful conditions!

Finn's England boys romped home 53-7 over Fiji thanks to a dominant set piece.

Puts them in a good position going into the Australia match, but Ireland grabbing a late try bonus today means the fight for top spot will go to the wire.

Odiase is a freak athlete. It's a shame Tigers couldn't grab him. When someone unknown is linked completely from nowhere like that I tend to think there's something in it so I'd guess there was contact between club and player.

Need the bonus point win over Australia really to progress, though I think that best 2nd place in the pools also goes to the semi finals but that would almost certainly mean playing France

Getting a tilt at the top 4 would be a decent result for this group, the way things have been this cycle

Starting squad v Australia see Cusick at 14 Woodward at 12 and Carnduff paired in the 2nd row with Chessum who skippers the side. FTT is on the bench

Has that been announced? Good to see our lads included. I have to say (and I am really not sure about this comparison...) but Woodward reminds me of Farrell a bit...
