Drua v Blues

Tim

Apparently it is 25C and 89% humidity right now in Suva.

Bones

That very clearly went back.

antipodean

Doesn't a knock-on have to travel forward?

Machpants

Yes he lost it. Backwards. Umm

Machpants

I think the drua are going to get spanked, that was appalling

Bones

Renata has really hit form this year eh, looks bloody fit too. Age will count against him for the ABs though I guess.

Machpants

Paps released, but didn't get back to feet. Penalty

antipodean

Good option Beaudy - just throw it away.

Bones

The superior skill and experience of Barrett strikes again.

Steven Harris

How can such a talented first five be such an average kicker off the tee ?

Tim

Body position was a bit high from some of those ball carriers.

Bones

Good to see future highlanders best ever loose forward getting some game time.

antipodean

Where's the crowd?

Steven Harris

Berry not prepared to penalise the Drua players lying in the ruck area
Let’s see how consistent he is ?

Tim

Great kick chase Papalii.

Machpants

Body position was a bit high from some of those ball

Half back is clearing from the ruck into their heads, not helping

Tim

Lock at halfback gives hospital pass. Blues need more organisation, stop using the backs so flat.

Bones

BB doing his best to be involved in every Blues turnover.

I wish Rieko could run with the ball without having to tuck and duck.

Tim

@Bones He's standing so flat, and it's just straight along the line passes without variations and dummy runners.

antipodean

Cleans need to be much better. Taele having as much impact as a wet lettuce leaf at the ruck.
