Now South Africa has taken out the under-20s tournament in South Africa, a tournament which was interesting because the three other teams appeared to be so close and South Africa appeared to be running away with it.
And then in that last game, that New Zealand-South Africa game, 29 all was very, very close.
Whenever New Zealand doesn't win an under-20s tournament, the questions are always being asked, we used to win these no problem at all, why aren't we winning them now?
So let's kind of get into what's gone on here.
Firstly, this performance after losing to Argentina against South Africa was a big step up.
Now, Bryn, that's the key difference here between the New Zealand approach and the South African approach.
The South Africans took a tour to Georgia in February.
They brought this team together.
They created combination.
New Zealanders had a camp and a trial match thing against universities.
They haven't put the effort into preparing for this tournament the way the South Africans have resources.
And you can see it.
So the question is, really, should they?
You know, the question is, is it all about this world championship?
Should they have been thinking more about winning the rugby championship?
Or is the approach fine because it's the trophy at the end of the year that matters?
The words were no downward pressure, please.
So are you saying I can call the title of this video, New Zealand was robbed?
But it was a pretty big call.
