Looking forward to seeing Mitchell play, heard good things.
Is that three Opensides in the backrow or am I mixing up my mercers?

You're mixing Mercers - Guy is 27, Bath's club captain, and an OSF; Zach (no relation) is 19, just earned a senior contract as of today, and a #8 who can fill in at 6
 
Italy maul drives over after 13mins: 5 - 0 to Italy.

Wales have a lock who's nicked Itoje's pineapple haircut.
 
Wales looked pretty decent in terrible conditions. Set piece mostly went well, solid defense, and they looked structured and mature out there. Couple of nice try's as well, with right winger Conbeer's a real gem, especially considering the pitch, stood up the fullback, and snuck in at the corner with an acrobatic finish.

Italy offered little though. Their handling was terrible throughout, and other than the first 10-15min, they applied little pressure on Wales.

Much tougher proposition next week against England.
 
Scotland U20 looking a lot stronger than Ireland at the moment.

Also... the clock's gone dead for the half, you pick up a bouncing ball deep in your 22... why the hell do you not just boot the bugger out?
 
Only saw bits and pieces of the Scotland Ireland game. Scotland looked by far the better team so surprised Ireland got the win.

They dominated the forward battle but we're not able to do much with all their possession. Ireland were more clinical but need to practice scrums and lineouts.
 
Butlers try, then, was sssiiiicccckkk
Quality hands from all involved
 
France is woeful.

But this England group has huge depth and strength.

Think of the players hat can still be added for the JRWC.
