Blues v Drua

[chimoaus]

Why is he still out there?

[Chris]

Hahaha Ricetelli

[Tim]

Fuck me TJ is dumb. "Gliding through the middle."

Riccitelli is THAT shit.......

Why would the Blues recruit him? He looks as dumb as he plays. I don't care how industrious he may be.

Is anyone else having issues with their Stan feed? Keeps on dropping to SD.

[Tim]

Some crawling along the ground missed by Williams.

[Bovidae]

If the Drua were more accurate with their passing they would be so much more dangerous. A gutsy effort from them.

Now the SBW comedy show

[Tim]

Super Rugby coverage is so amateur. I can't think of anything worse than watching a pre-game presentation.

[antipodean]

Tele'a is better suited to starting at second five-eighth than RTS who should come off the bench to get experience.

This young 9 for Blues certainly looks a long way out of his depth!

Big step down from the ginger Scot.

Big step down from almost any other 9, Replacement looked a hell of an improvement.

In all of their games this season when they have the ball they have threatened, however they have had periods where their defence falls badly apart and they lose shape.

@antipodean except it was a flying knee to the head Jackie Chan wouldve been proud of.

They seem to run out of ideas at times and need quicker ball at times

The second intercept attempt by RI is an example of why I hate the rule we have now regarding failed intercept attempts. RI was lucky the ball went behind his body after he touched it. If it had gone forward (which it could very easily have done because he barely touched the ball with one hand) there is a good chance he would have seen a yellow.

And that's the risk you take, what's the problem?

[Bones]

Just catching the last twenty now, how many penalties did Laulala give away on his return from suspension?

[booboo]

Watching now ... a little behind ... but that Darry try was just perfection

[Bones]

TJ completely out of sync with the ref on the Sotutu pen. Ref says get up stop being an egg, TJ says he fell heavily and Sotutu was lucky, despite the other player landing on his foot. Dick.

It's supposed to be a 'genuine' attempt apparently. Intent etc. RI got lucky. Like I said, ball goes forward he probably gets a card. It's another instance in rugby where a judgement on someone's 'intent' can have a big impact if it ends up a yellow card.
