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?

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?
