Plenty of talent in there but a very tough group.

Just have to win one game

Sounds like they don't even have to win one game now - rumour is relegation is off the table as the WR U20 Championship will expand to 16 teams next year. Probably with the second tier Trophy comp ditched in favour of some 'cross-regional' competition.

If the pressure is off I would really like to see this group just give it an absolute crack and show what they are capable of.

They had certainly stepped it up several levels by the end of the 6 Nations and were superb against France, and the second half of the warm up game got them back into that groove, so really hope they give it a lash.
