Some great play from the youngsters, Kinghorn had some cracking breaks, and the back play in general was excellent


Just caught the highlights on ITV4, all 5 tries were excellent, hopefully the white line fever that Scotland used to suffer from has been banished for good.

Aye it's changed days alright......2 or 3 tries in a season was all we could hope for then never mind in one game!

Was just looking at the U20 groups... I presume the top team in each group goes through with only 1 runner up? If so, doesn't look like Scotland will make it... even if they hammer Italy?

Eh no http://www.worldrugby.org/u20/tournament-info/tournament-rules

ETA: I thought the same so had to check

Looking at the tables I think 5-8 is the best we can aim for given the state of group C. A win over Italy (with a BP) could see us as seeded 5th (dependent on the Aus v Eng game) against either Italy again or the winners of Wales v Samoa, or 6th vs the loser of the Arg v SA.

A win in that game would see us seeded in the 2nd pot for the next U20 WC as we would finish 5th or 6th.

A lose against Italy without a losing BP could potentially put us into the relegation play off and end up losing our place in the Championship, although I cant see us losing 2 games.

Yeh. But they they go into a daft 5-8 play off. Only one runner up goes to semi final.... unless I'm reading it wrong

Could be, I gave up trying to work it out. Just have quarters, semis and a final!

Yeah its an odd format. Would have thought obvious thing is to allow 4 more nations to qualify top two in each group advance to qtrs. If necessary have a bowl tourney for those who finish bottom two in groups.

Ah well... Scotland fucked Ireland again; and Wales are bottom of their group.

the format is like it is to keep the tournament down to 2 weeks, adding another game adds another 3 days, and is probably a bit unfair 3 knock out games to decide who gets relegated each year - although to be fair the big 10 probably will do something to change it when it starts to look like one of them might get relegated one year
