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

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.

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?

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.

Duluth

@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).

Tim

@Bones There was a Fijian commentator too.

mikedogz

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.
