If this was a boxing match the referee would've stopped it by now
Expected result
Better scoreline than I was envisioning
We gave up easy possession and territory
First up tackling was woeful
No match thread for the JRWC final? I'll take the opportunity to gently remind our friends in the Hermit Kingdom that the Baby Boks are back-to-back world champions... just like the Springboks.

Well done. Been done before. Let us know when they 3-peat. Or 4-peat
Boks are the 2nd team to win back to back WCs and JWCs. Nice of your boys to finally come to the party

Really?
Why do you say that?
Too laid back for the modern senior game. Don’t see anything special in him really. Hope he can come to the party and it’s early days, but ho-hum

Ahmed is going to be the next SMZ.
I don't even know who the first SMZ is?

That's the hope! 
The Baby Blacks didn't just win junior World Cups—they developed into the Whitelock, Retallick, Cane and Beauden Barrett generation that dominated the next decade. If our Baby Boks can make that same leap, it should bode well for a continued dominance at the senior level.
Where do you think it all went wrong for All Black rugby?
Poor Structures?
Losing players overseas?
Private equity?
Or something else?

Why the fuck are Wales playing in white? This away strip malarky shits me.
Green and red is very bad for those who are colour blind.

Maybe.
But goodness, he's 20 playing in his first test. I thought he was solid.
Let's see how he develops.

Where has what gone wrong for All Black rugby?
In the U20’s in rugby in general?
I hope everyone in SA has the same attitude as you that it has all gone wrong for All Black rugby.

It isn’t as strong as it has been, in fairness. Boks have lifted their game and structures. NZ has to do likewise. Big job for Conrad Smith

I'm colour blind and would rather the home kits. The majority of people aren't, so changing for a minority like that is dumb.
SA rugby have to deal with quotas. The restrictions is now even bigger at Craven Week. The provinces now must select players from disadvantage schools. We saw the hosts , Eastern Province chairman chaging the team after trials and the team selected without consultation with the coach and selectors. In short they aren't allowed to just select PoC from strong rugby schools.
So developing players is on another level. The biggest reason for our stronger schoolboy structure came since Covid. The top schools coaches earn more money then Currie Cup coaches. Schoolboy rugby is professional since live streaming on Super Schools.

Is that true? I thought quotas had been done away with. In any event, SA rugby is probably the strongest it’s ever been.

@W32 SA schoolboy rugby is much stronger since covid. Rugby is big business in the top rugby schools since live streaming. Supersport schools give you admission to most schools live matches.
