No idea how the Landers are leading at the half but we will take it. The heat looks intense. Hopefully a better second half of footy coming up. Be nice to see us put the boot away a bit when we are inside their half

I get a bit frustrated with how casual JRK looks most of the time. Often looks like everything is in slow motion. No urgency.

One of the reasons I miss Hurley. He looks like he is going at 110% with everything he does.

Midfield scrum 30 odd out. And they kick it

Did you see the first 3 attack "moves"? Not sure I've seen anything like it.

Blowing a heck of a lot of opportunities. Get the feeling that's going to come back to bite us.

Attack is a generous description. It’s one off runners, pass to TT, or chip kick.

Or all three at once

Fuck those two shots of the dressing rooms gave two fairly different impressions of how the teams of feeling

Rain might help.

The bench needs to be well utilised

Nareki is having his worst game I can remember in recent memory. Get XTH on

The defensive structure struggles so much out wide. A loose forward should have been there.

@jimmyb there was no need for Nareki to be in that tight to begin with. Tele’a had his man. To then get gassed and give up chasing isn’t good enough. Players have off games and it’s ok. Better to just get them off before it gets worse

That started with a dipshit play by TT.

Nice try from the Drua. Crazy what happens when you don’t kick the ball away

@jimmyb I was just glad he tucked the ball and didn’t kick it

Well guys, we’ve got this very big and fast Fijian team and we’re playing in Fiji. The gameplan is to just kick it to them and see what happens….

Vikena again fucking woeful

Glad three loose forwards can’t secure a ruck properly

Pick and go from number 8. 5m out from the line, smack bang in the middle of the field and we get turned over with the Drua also down a player.

Drua are the better team across the field and deserve to win this.

It’s a Vikena masterclass today

@Landers92 Drua aren't even playing well, highlanders are just pathetic.

Yeah the whole thing is pretty underwhelming. Tough watch

Go through the hands for fuck sake

Man this is some really dumb rugby. Poor skill execution as well.

Vikena knocks it on diving to score absolutely useless

Vintage Vikena

Guy has never improved

Vikena what the fuck most useless performance I've seen since Gregory in covid

I mean Jesus Christ. What kind of fucking move was that? Vikenna is a moron but that attacking scrum was equally moronic

Gets worse and the seasons go by

Kidding me. Ok have to go with something being rotten in camp.

Another midfield scrum guys! Shall we try the same glaciel movement?

That is a monster 50/22 by JRK

Aaaand we bomb it ffs

This is some seriously bad rugby.

Absolute chaos out there

I mean look at that backline move. Millar gets the ball, not a single back running into it. They’re standing still, absolutely no shape at all.

More balls being dropped than the Vienna Boys Choir

Just awful across the board from both teams. Drua the better side by a small margin and have taken their opportunities. Vikena has to be the worst hookers going around that is being paid to play the game.

why vienna tho

The reality of this is that a Glen Jackson (yes the ref) coached Drua team is better than a Jospeh coached Highlanders team

It's like some kind of comedy sketch where the Drua do something stupid and the highlanders go out of their way to do twice as bad

Haha we get your point mate. It’s been woeful across the board
