30th March game. Quite a few U18s who aren’t eligible for the 18s tournament as they were born prior to 1st Jan and a few others missing from both sides due to injury.

Can't see it being broadcast anywhere

I don’t think this one is being covered mate. There will be cameras there, so we might get some highlights, but no broadcast as far as I can see.

TBH, I'm okay with that.
I've already got 3 matches clashing with each other today, and U19s is always a bit of a weird chimera between U18 and U20 that never particularly piques my interest.

Agreed. It’s a bit like the 17’s. It’s an in between squad that kind of seems to be just to fit in players whose birth date puts them out of contention for their actual age group.

Still keeps them playing, but not anything to really hang your hat on in terms of results.

Havent seen the result from the French game but the lads are out again tomorrow against Italy.

We lost 21-24 to France but thumped Italy 40-10.

[Which Tyler]

Seeing a Bracken on the wing is just... wrong. It upsets me.

Mind you, seeing a Lilley in the backs is pretty upsetting too!

The three tries in the defeat against France were scored by Raymont, Hall & Timmins. Bellamy converted all three.

We lost 21-24 to France but thumped Italy 40-10.

Half a dozen scores against Italy came from Timmins, Kinder, Kane James, Ridl, Logan & Glister. Bellamy converted 5/6 for a personal 10 point haul.
