    Watching England vs Italy atm. Tough to make much out of the game given it so one sided. Will check in again as the games progress.

    Would love to be at one of the stadiums for the day and watch some quality young rugby.

    My old mate from school is playing for South Africa, I believe. Abongile Nonkontwana, the number 4.

    I read he's "only" 193cm now, which surprises me. He was 180cm when he was 10. Obviously just stopped growing early.

    We won this last year I think.
     
  5. Howe JHF Howe

    Yeah we did. Slade, Cowan-Dickie, Watson and Nowell were all called up from that side.
     
  6. MrPrez CM Dyer

    Players to watch for SA are Pollard, Peterson (who has already been playing a fair bit of superrugby with the Kings) and Kriel, I believe.

    And my mate Nonkontwana obviously :p

    awesome. You mean that mint winger is playing we saw last year?!
     
  8. MrPrez CM Dyer

    Yep, the one who got a brace on debut in Superrugby.
     
  9. The Boy Brumby ZJ Brumby

    Slew the Leekist Dragon in the final, to make it doubly sweet.

    And Sam Hill

    Don't think the Welsh will be in the final this year somehow

    Billy Burns the younger brother of Freddie apparently.

    The best thing I've seen so far is the skill level of the South Africans, absolutely outstanding

    As I've said before on here, school rugby is taken ridiculously seriously here.

    The Baby Boks were really impressive. Serious contenders.
     
  18. Squeaks ZW Poole

    It's paying off then... All SA need to do now is get the new generation into the national team more so they play some more attacking entertaining rugby
     
  19. MrPrez CM Dyer

    Good result vs the ABs.
