Great kick chase Papalii.

@Tim said in Drua v Blues:

Body position was a bit high from some of those ball

Half back is clearing from the ruck into their heads, not helping

Tim

Lock at halfback gives hospital pass. Blues need more organisation, stop using the backs so flat.

Bones

BB doing his best to be involved in every Blues turnover.

I wish Rieko could run with the ball without having to tuck and duck.

Tim

@Bones He's standing so flat, and it's just straight along the line passes without variations and dummy runners.

Cleans need to be much better. Taele having as much impact as a wet lettuce leaf at the ruck.

Whoever is the attack coach at the Blues needs to be sacked.

Doesn't help the players thinking they've got to be the Harlem Globetrotters

Tim

@Machpants I dunno, I'd like to see more offloads.

It would be nice just to see them try an manipulate the defensive line and create some space a bit more.. .especially the midfield

Superb from the Blues some great angles the from the carriers

Tim

Nice. Good quick recycling and sharp work from Funaki at the ruck.

Sotutu warming up.

For those watching in black and white the Blues are the team in white?!

Tim

@pakman Yep, Blues are in white.

Fiji in their traditional blue

Bones

Fuck it's going to be tough watching the ABs this year until DMac gets selected.

Tim

Surely take the scrum?

Berry rucks are always a mess.

BB pass was fwd wasn't?

This co commentator couldn’t be any more biased if he tried

Victor Meldrew

That was some defence by the Drua after that Blues breakout

I know. Not sure what game he's been watching if he thinks the Blues have not been the better team.

antipodean

Nice deception by Sotutu - looked like he was going to drive, but pop pass to Fusitu'a on the hard line.

Rieko holding ball in wrong hand?

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

Bones

@pakman said in Drua v Blues:

@Bones When tackled in corner.

No I know that, I just mean his seeming lack of rugby nous on attack.

Tim

Very good first half. Important to come out at half time and keep the pressure on.

Really solid half from the Blues ,Given the Drua very few opportunities and have shut them down when they have had the ball
IMO you can’t be too expansive against these guys especially if you make mistakes you then bring them into the game
