Perofeta seems better from out wide but anything from in front or even 10m either side of the posts appears near impossible for him

Is this just resting Faiane then? Thought he was one of the blues best last week.

Sounds like its a combination of resting Faiane, needing more kicking options at altitude and giving Plummer an opportunity at 12 where he has played a lot of rugby growing up.

That's what makes it appear even worse - missing the very getable ones.

I find it easier for my mental health to assume he's going to miss every kick.

Snowy

@Kirwan And a fairly accurate assumption too.

Duluth

Hopefully Narawa gets a decent amount of ball. He had some freakish moments during the NPC

This video is only from the Northland match but it gives you an idea about his balance/swerve etc

@Duluth Lovely body swerve AND soft hands!

KiwiMurph

Looks like rain forecast.

I'm picking a tiny crowd.

Is anybody watching the Stormers v Jaguares. Yet another advert to ditch this bullshit system of home country refs. Ref Rasta making up rules and disallowing a fantastic Jaquares try

I mean if your refs are incompetent most of the time, neutral refs are just a no brainer

Stargazer

Just tuned in. Is the ref Nic Berry?

Stargazer

There's hardly a crowd; all those empty blue seats ...

Stargazer

Most boring 20 minutes of the 2020 SR season that I've watched thus far. Maybe that will change now that Ferreira has been sent to the bin.

Stargazer

Shoulder charge? Where was the direct contact?

Stargazer

Looks like direct contact with the head. What colour of card? Red?

Looked like direct contact shoulder to head to me - red coming up?

Stargazer

Hmm, Narawa ducking considered enough mititgation. It's a yellow. Bulls down to 13 men.

Stargazer

If the Blues don't score now, they're not worth a win.
