Will certainly be a lot more competitive and interesting that the actual Roos v Kiwis game.

Surprised Joe is there. I thought only Greinke was picked?

 

[Big Pete]

You've got it the wrong way round, Ari.

Greinke was called in after Waqa Blake pulled out.

 

[Ari Gold]

No, I remember that bit, but I thought there were no Broncos in the original squad. Or maybe I'm just thinking of the NYC team of the year instead.

Junior Kiwi Team Announced.

Updated the first post to reflect those changes. Wasn't too far off with the only changes being superficial ones.

Junior Kiwis confirm line-up - Warriors

Less than 2 hours to go.

 

[Big Pete]

Game is underway.

What did I just miss?

EDIT: Oh they were getting into it before the game had even started? This game is going to be even worse than the Origin 20s.

Still think this game should take place during rep weekend.

 

[Big Pete]

Mamo bombs an early opportunity.

Mago looked strong in the early exchanges.

As you can imagine, this is going to be a high scoring game.

 

[Big Pete]

Too easy for the Kangaroos there.

Hutchinson goes left, finds his centre who puts Holmes over in the corner.

Gutherson's kick comes off the upright and goes over.

Ofahengaue looking good early.

 

[Big Pete]

Ofahengaue with a try saver on Martin and forces a mistake.

Now Tanginoa turns it over on the first tackle.

 

[Big Pete]

Gutherson with a brain explosion throws the ball straight to the Kiwis near the line.

Couple plays later, Kiwis go left and Manulelua scores in the corner.

Dockar Clay sprays it.

6-4 Kangaroos.

Nikorima is playing well.

Kiwi commentators keep refereeing to the Kiwis as the JKs...it's getting on my nerves.

Tanginoa bursts through the middle but Gutherson cannot take the pass.

Greinke on for the Australians.

 

[Big Pete]

Peni scores off a major forward pass from Milne.

Even the Kiwi commentators are flabbergastered.

10-6 Junior Kiwis

 

[Big Pete]

Aussies go right with Matterson finding Aitken with a cut-out pass who puts Mamo over in the corner.

10 all on the shadows of HT.

I would watch it but I don't have Fox unfortunately.

 

[Big Pete]

44 gone.

10 all.

Kiwis on the attack once again through a Gutherson mistake at the back.

Was a good kick and chase by the Kiwis, but the effort was less than stellar from Gutherson.

 

[Big Pete]

Kodi Nikorima scores for the Junior Kiwis.

Martin off the scrum goes right to Dockar Clay who threw a long ball to Nikorima. Nikorima stuttered, feigned, bluffed and slid his way over the line.

Dockar Clay from the sideline...sprays it.

14-10 Junior Kiwis.

 

[Big Pete]

50 gone.

Kiwis once again were on attack after receiving back to back penalties but Peni is pinged for an obstruction.

Ofahengaue with a big hit forces Lisone to knock on.

Aussies ball on half-way.
