Why not take the 3 points and take it beyond 3 try margin?

Or let someone kick for touch who has the required skills

Super try by the Drua.
31-17

17 boring in from the beginning on that scrum. What's the AR doing?
-
Lord looks huge
-
Ball got to the back, make the 9 play it.
Resets are no fun to watch

Locking PGS to New Zealand looks criminal now.
@antipodean I doubt he'd make the Fijian back row...

Wow that was heavy footed from Rona. Still a way to go then
Shit pass stole any momentum or opportunity. Followed up by an even shitter kick pass to the right.

Gatland? He's been watching too much Beauden.

DMac both times.

Samepeni Finau made a big statement tonight. Look forward to seeing him v Crusaders. His physicality is a stand out.
Great to see Wrampling back. Rona looked a bit lacking in vision tonight whereas Gideon was sharp. Ollie Norris was v good too in front row.
Ravutaumada and Ikanivere were inspirational for Drua. Great goal line defence too. An enjoyable watch except for a 20 minute patch in second half.

The rain was much worse than it may have looked on TV, so the ball handling from both teams was bloody good in those conditions.
5 pts, no injuries and the return of some players meant it was a good night.
Again, I'm underwhelmed by MSR around the field. He's a lightweight who doesn't make dominant tackles or be an effective ball-carrier. The scrum looked much better when Lord replaced him.
Wrampling has the ability to run over the first defender, which is always a great attribute to have for a midfielder.
Some big selection decisions for McMillan for the Crusaders game.

If no Nankivell or ALB, Wrampling starts ahead of Rona in my view. I want us to start with Finau over Sowakula also. Chiefs need to make a full frontal assault in first half, then play in right part of field thereafter. I would like Norris to start too and possibly Lord starts with Vaii on bench.

Hopefully Nankivell is back, otherwise I expect Rona to start again. Wrampling is being used as a 2nd 5, like Poihipi, so one of them would have to play out of position as a combination.
I want us to start with Finau over Sowakula also.
Who starts at 6 will be the big call. Watching the replay today, I was interested to see Finau say he is about 1.96 m/118 kg, so taller and heavier than officially listed.
