Duluth

Drua were in control. Dumb card and now behind by 9

Duluth

Now an even stupider red card

African Monkey

Well that was stupid from Lomani.

antipodean

How is Lomani surprised that an elbow to the back of the head off the ball is worthy of a red card?

Duluth

It wouldn’t have been legal in UFC either. A 12 to 6 elbow to the back of the head

African Monkey

And another stupid red from the Drua.

Are the Drua well tonight?

antipodean

Discipline a real issue with the Drua in this match. Although having said that, the Rebels hooker seems like a right cunt worthy of a headbutt. Dane Coles like niggle. Can't argue with the end effect. Good stuff.

Duluth

Should be a couple of long suspensions

Yep, no tackle school discount here. Six weeks minimum.

@NTA Try as I might, I can't see a technique mitigation in either card.

NTA

When Carter Gordon gets onto a line with the ball, he is really good to watch.

But the kicking ... Jeez...

Valid. Mafi's a cock.

Fuck the Drua piss me off.

That was some grubby shit out there today and if they put it away, they would have probably pretty easily got past the Rebels.

Leaked three tries during the first YC when they were comfortably ahead

That’s as may be, but he’s putting this one right in the pool room. Just like Fitzy did after he left his delicious ear out where Le Roux couldn’t resist it.

@antipodean am sure there will be a way to discount them...fight club, anger management.

They'll miss Lomani big time.

Those incidents are what red cards are for, not accidental head contacts, although fans shouldn't be punished with a15 v 13 match due to 2 morons, so IMO still a 20 min card.

African Monkey

I think the Drua were gonna struggle to hold on regardless of the red cards tbh. Their set piece was getting destroyed out there.

African Monkey

@NTA Still worth investing in despite his indifferent kicking at times.

Best natural 10 in the comp for me. We'd see the best of him in a better team.
