Good to see Funaki remain the starting halfback and Nock dropped for being a retard

Weather in Suva, tomorrow doesn't look flash, heavy rain,

The Blues should be happy about that. A bit cooler and less risk of gassing in a game with loads of movement

Kicking off soon

If course we run into the Highlander and and drua after they lose someone important to them.

Could be tough

Apparently it is 25C and 89% humidity right now in Suva.

That very clearly went back.

Doesn't a knock-on have to travel forward?

Yes he lost it. Backwards. Umm

I think the drua are going to get spanked, that was appalling

Renata has really hit form this year eh, looks bloody fit too. Age will count against him for the ABs though I guess.

Paps released, but didn't get back to feet. Penalty

Good option Beaudy - just throw it away.

The superior skill and experience of Barrett strikes again.

How can such a talented first five be such an average kicker off the tee ?

Body position was a bit high from some of those ball carriers.

Good to see future highlanders best ever loose forward getting some game time.

Where's the crowd?

Berry not prepared to penalise the Drua players lying in the ruck area
Let’s see how consistent he is ?

Great kick chase Papalii.

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

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

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.

@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

Paps :thumbs_up:

@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 said in Drua v Blues:

Except they aren't sticking. Coles line out thing

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

Sotutu warming up.

That was nice try

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

@pakman Yep, Blues are in white.

Fiji in their traditional blue

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