@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 canโ€™t be too expansive against these guys especially if you make mistakes you then bring them into the game

Bovidae

Barrett's kicks to the corner from penalties end up closer to the 22. Poor.

His instinct for an aimless play with no idea if it's actually viable is as grating as Rieko's for only being able to look around or use his feet if he's standing still.

Hoss good on both sides of ball?!

Tim

LOL, right in front of the ref.

More globetrotter. But fuck me drua are dumb

Tim

Take the scrum under the posts.

Duluth

Funaki is the correct halfback for the Blues style

Tim

Nice work Ta'avao.

The difference their direct play has when there's a scrumhalf that clears the ball quickly.

He's out. Very poor tackle position there, poor bugger

Patty will be off for a HIA after that.

Oh thought it was Angus, should put my glasses on lol

Tim

@Machpants Think it was Tuipulotu, maybe slipped into the tackle?

Tim

Fatigue affecting play now.

Gunner

That prop was penalised at the scrum because the field is cutting up. Bit rough.

Tim

@Gunner Seen a couple of defenders check their runs too, as slipping.

Berry asking the TMO if there was anything in a nothing tsckle

Tim

Ioane's defense has been really good today.

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

Landers92

Taele. That boy is a serious talent

Drua nine makes Christie's clearance look like Smith's

Drua have given up

Bovidae

Eklund hardly plays now.

Victor Meldrew

Blues kicking has been pretty effective overall

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.

Victor Meldrew

Contender for the "Easiest Try of the Year" Award

Story of the night for the Drua says Wykes
No thatโ€™s what happens when your systematically shut out

Two outside Reiko, he steps in ๐Ÿ™„ did he even look?

Tim

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
