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

antipodean

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.

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

TV clock on island time?

Tim

Statement performance going into the playoffs?

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

Bovidae

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.

Bovidae

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