@Machpants said in Drua v Blues:

Drua have given up

The Blues defence have taken the life out of them. Too often stuck in their own half and turning over ball.

They've (Drua) done a lot of defending tonight.

Contender for the "Easiest Try of the Year" Award

Story of the night for the Drua says Wykes
No that’s what happens when your systematically shut out

Two outside Reiko, he steps in did he even look?

@Machpants That was a shocker!

@Machpants was just gonna say that

Jesus, what a twat

Propelled himself along the ground.

If a knee on the ground is a tackle, Berry should've penalised him.

Yeah knees where down. But since he only asked about about knock on, they miss it. Quite common in tmo

TV clock on island time?

Statement performance going into the playoffs?

@Machpants Happened in the first half too.

I really didn't see this one coming. Shit weather, drua in Fiji. Thought I'd be a mess. But clinical defence and work in tight, good to great performance from most of the blues

It would be interesting to know the Drua's home record in day games versus night games.

Taking nothing away from the Blues in both wins over there, but they've been fortunate to play them at night.

The first time the Blues played over there was an afternoon game.

Taele. That boy is a serious talent

Has also played 10 at schoolboy level.

@Duluth OK, I thought it was a night game too.

Blues in playoff mode.

@Bovidae nah it was 2pm and sunny. Blues won 30-14 but were exhausted in the last ten

@Steven-Harris said in Drua v Blues:

@Tim Greg Clark is the main caller is very good value

And I think it’s the former Waratahs and Force player Sam Wykes with him. He’s done most of the Drua home games for the Stan coverage.

Was it? Could've sworn it was Nadolo, sounds just like him (slightly Aussie/smarter version of SBW).

@Bones There was a Fijian commentator too.

Wykes puts the meat into head.

Both Wykes and Nadolo were in the pre game.

Oh yeah could’ve been Nadolo as he’s on the comms team too.

Sykes is usually pretty good no matter who is playing against the Drua.

Probably been noticed before, but the sponsor on the shorts doesn’t quite look right …

Just realized it was Vern Cotter v Glen Jackson in this game, the 2 that orchestrated BOP's greatest day in 2004.

Having just watched it, good to see us go back to what we do best, tire sides up front. We ended up tiring the Drua out by bashing their forwards. A good day for our pack where we probably could have won by more.

@Tim said in Drua v Blues:

Ioane's defense has been really good today.

Sounds familiar.......

@Steven-Harris said in Drua v Blues:

Has there ever been a game where the co commentator has talked up a losing team and suggested the winning team have all the luck
Sam Wykes your an idiot

He looks like Isa Nacewa from temu.
