Drua v Rebels
-
@duluth Interesting move to allow Drua to start with 16 players. Might even the game up. But, could be an awkward scrum packdown with 2 number eights lol..

@higgins he put in a solid performance at scrumtime last week vs a pretty strong Brumbie scrum.
His ability and skill isn't really an issue, it's his weight and fitness, think he's clocking about 140 still, which is only about 5kg less than when he was here last year (AFAIK he does not yet have an NPC contract...NRU still have issues with his fitness levels)

That's a nice try by the Drua just before half-time while a man down.
The Rebels are very poor.
-
Drua do a DMac with a quick tap from a penalty and Vota scores. 22-14.
-
@kiwimurph imagine losing to a team that would be last in the NPC.
-
@kiwimurph Rebels tried to play an open style and it actually played into the Drua’s hands. Was fun to watch.
The try by the Drua openside was sweet.

Good on the Drua , they will be happy with first win. Have to be honest while I enjoyed game a bit looked like 2 teams that aren't really super level.

If that's what you think, to me Crsaders and Moana Pasifika looked like 2 teams playing their first super game of year. And I not sure will get uo to super level this year, but I haven't written them off after 1 game together.
