Scrums on Brumbies ball are a shambles

Brumbies lucky there, Drua could have had 2 pens: 1 for holding and another for straight off feet.

I thought the Drua might be better than this. They look mud. When Baden Kerr is in your starting team in 2022 it tells you something.

@kiwimurph they do know its 15s?

I wonder how long this experiment will last.

Work experience kid as ref?

@antipodean tbf they did only start assembling the team about 8 months or so ago...

If World rugby are serious about growth they should be underwriting this and MP, I reckon they need min 4 years before you can start looking at killing the 'experiment '

@taniwharugby Yup, they need time, and more importantly, them and MP being there is of a massive benefit for Island rugby.

I wonder how many players were part of the Fijian Drua NRC team of 2017 - 2019?

Drua scrum is probably the most consistent part of their game, love to see the left wing with more space.

Some play and decision making very poor.

Wasn't there a pen advantage at the maul? Very short for being in the 22

I hate the "I've got no clear grounding" call. To me it's negative

SCRUM IT BOYS

Brumbies should get a YC, infringing all over the shop.

Drua 9 looks very average at passing.

Drua scrum held up pretty well against a pretty strong Brumbie one

Ah ok, so you get 2 warnings...

Forward all day, he had no forward momentum Plank.

Brumbies 42-3

Brumbies pretty average, Drua mostly rocks, glimpses of diamonds.

Think too many of the Drua playing with a 7s mentality leading to some really poor decisions and errors.

Big issues at 9-10 though, 9 clearance (starter and reserve) was too slow, and the 10 not really controlling things, meaning the backs got alot of poor ball.

Good for my picks, nothing else
