Junior World Championship - Results

id rather have a fly half that can distribute, manage a back line, find and put players into holes and can tackle, he ticked all of those boxes...

[Burgs]

Flyhalf doesn't HAVE to take the shots on goal.
I'd prefer to have a decent Flyhalf and get someone else to kick than have a dead eyed dick that can't pass and run.

[Burgs]

Yeah, what he said...

The kicker for Perth Bayswater U15 can kick from any side of the field at that angel and distance with a 75% success rate and has been doing so since last year so no excuse there mate

Sign him up! Baysie first grade kicker would. Of have potted all them. We got a game against rockinham this week bench spot maybe?

All this talk about his goal kicking if you had watched the game you would have see at least 3 of those kicks where from the side line on the wrong side for a left footer. Give the guy a chance he made the adjustment and then slotted the sane kick. I doubt many super level kickers would slotvthose shots every time.

Maybe he had an off day, but it looked to me like his kicking style was pretty poor and that type of kicking is more prone to inaccuracy. Some of his kicks were wildly off the mark. And as theforceguy said there are plenty of kickers out there playing club rugby that are fantastic kickers.

There does seem to be a certain lack of 'rugby intelligence' in Australian players; a lack of ability to make decisions on the field which seem blindly obvious to anyone else.

I think the coaches are more to blame. Very poor selections given the weather conditions. There is no point saving your 'A' players for the semi-finals if you aren't going to make it there.

More significant than the Australian result is the Wales v NZ game. This is the first match NZ has EVER lost at this age group tournament.

The game was played in terrible conditions (much like Aus V Scot in the week) on a pitch that had already been bogged up by a previous game on the same day. The Welsh played very smart wet weather rugby and defended their hearts out. Well done Boyos!

The game after that, England v Ireland, started off with Ireland looking really slick, especially in those conditions. The 9 10 combination was very very good. England had 2 in the sin bin at the same time very early on.

I left it with Ireland comfortably ahead - by about 10 points - so that England got up surprised the wassname out of me!

Wales have already beaten NZ, although only 9-6, so NZ could still make the final.
Argentina are unbeaten so far (the Saffas lost to Ireland) so could make the final, too.
I'd love a Wales vs Argentina final.

France have just beaten Australia 31-7, so it looks as though Australia could be fighting for 7th.
England beat Ireland in the group stages, but that was 20-15, so that could go either way. England vs Australia for 7th/8th!
