They are crap - but what can one say about the New Zealand and Australia Under 20 teams? Both are out if the tournament. The Semis are going to be between England vs South Africa and Ireland vs Argentina. I do not think they can beat England and I think Ireland has a better chance against Argentina.

Well Mike that England U20 side is pretty crap, it lost to Wales, France and Scotland in the 6N, I don't think they played Ireland. Their only victory was against Italy.
Wales and France thumped England by more than 20 points
So its wide open
The only real star of our side is the openside Davids, he looks to be a player that will go all the way.
Hall is good at 9
Libbok and Bosch are brilliantly creative and quick, but at 80kg have little chance of making the step up.......partly because they are slightly built unlike the likes of Kolbe and Sergeal Petersen, who are short and stocky
These two remind me of Geduld in build who has made it at 7's which I suspect is Bosch and Libbok's best bets
Great little players
The young tighthead looks good as well and is a baby

I think that Bosch is very much like Damian McKenzie as a full back. He may make he grade on Super Rugby level - but like Kolbe I do not think they wil l make the grade on test level.

Dave - I think the SA Under 20's do not have enough grunt up front to beat England - their set pieces have not been good enough.

The England tightfive is not special either, so the Baby Boks will match them there.

'But they seem to be turning it on in the 2nd half'...you edited that Dave. Your embarrassing early mouth call said something about them being small and scared. For shame....what was it that you said about editing....the "lowest".

lol @Saffex editing his post!
But yes, agree. So far they look crap.
That opensider is magic though... Davids.
Also like Bosch.
Hopefully Dawie produces some magic again.

Yep I edited my post because they turned it around. But you will see from my posts that I don't rate the side at all..........
I originally said they were weak, scared etc......which I stand by for that is how they played in the first half.
Shit scared of taking high balls and getting outmuscled by the French side.
But to their credit they turned it around......but they are a shit side, worst Baby Bok side I have seen.....but then again its been the same for the Oz, Kiwi and England sides
