Tahs haven't won a SR game since August 2020. Big favourites for this one though

[Bovidae]

Kerr was a handbrake for the CM backline when he last played for them. I hope for the Drua's sake that doesn't repeat itself.

[NTA]

I'm going along to this as it is the closest game they'll play to my place this year.

Fuck the SCG for Rugby.
Fuck trying to get to Leichhardt Oval with three public transport options available.

[Yeahtheboys]

Baden Kerr next to his teammates will be pretty funny to watch

[Duluth]

From stuff

Former Blues pivot Baden Kerr will be the Fijian Drua's only player with Super Rugby experience

...

Kerr, 32, made the last of his 12 Super Rugby appearances for the Blues in 2014

^^^ If that is anything like the storm that hit out this way last night, there might be a stoppage in play.

[Yeetyaah]

Drua paying 4 bucks or something. Backing them I reckon.

Yeah I think they are going to surprise some oz teams

@nta said in Waratahs v Drua:

by the look out the window test, there won't be any rain during this game

[NTA]

@bayimports storm forecast has shifted later. Wind coming from the south now so unlikely

[Duluth]

I thought the novelty of Drua’s first game would’ve attracted a bigger crowd

[Tim]

@duluth How many are at the ground?

[gt12]

Drua look really average.

Kerr doesn’t appear to know the laws.

[Duluth]

@tim it’s just the usual shitty Tahs crowd

[Duluth]

The dummy maul at the back of the lineout worked well

[gt12]

10-0 after 12 minutes. Tahs in after a pick n go.

Let’s hope the standard improves, because I’d say this doesn’t look anything about NPC level.

[Tim]

Awful pass.
