Drua v Rebels

[Stargazer]

Late changes in Drua line-up:

Frank Lomani ruled out.
Peni Matawalu starting at 9.
Phillip Baselala on the bench (21)

[KiwiMurph]

Drua in Fiji are a different animal

[KiwiMurph]

A sweet dive to finish a sweet try

[Stargazer]

This could become a nightmare for the Rebels.
The women's game between these teams ended in a 39 - 12 win to Fijiana Drua.

[Stargazer]

That new Drua reserve halfback is an 18-year-old debutant.

[Stargazer]

One thing is clear again: Monty Ioane is not as good as Digby was.

[KiwiMurph]

Another brilliant Drua try.

[Stargazer]

The Mafi try showed how different camera angles may show different things. On the first, you couldn't see the grounding and only saw the ball bounce forward. So the crowd thought he knocked it on. On the second, you see a clear grounding and then the ball bounces forward. Clear try.

[Stargazer]

Wrong decision from the AR. Hodge didn't touch the ball before it went out.

[Duluth]

33 points in 30mins for the Drua

[Stargazer]

@Duluth Home advantage may be bigger in Fiji than anywhere else. Temperature is over 30 degrees Celsius (it may feel hotter), with a humidity over 70.

[Stargazer]

HT: Drua 33 - 7 Rebels

[Derpus]

@Stargazer Thought there was a pretty strong argument for an obstruction in that try. But then the Drua very clearly illegally sacked that last Rebels maul so I guess these wildly inconsistent and incompetent refs eventually even out?

[Stargazer]

Brilliant 50:22 from Kellaway.

[Duluth]

Massive forward pass

[Winger]

@Duluth said in Drua v Rebels:

Massive forward pass

If they had missed this I would have given up on these refs

[Winger]

Good try FD.38-14

[Mattasaurus]

that was nicely worked. wish SBW was kept on the side line instead of blithering on

[Stargazer]

@Mattasaurus SBW isn't commentating. That's Sam Wykes.

[Mattasaurus]

@Stargazer oh my bad.. sounds very similar.
