@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

jimmyb

That started with a dipshit play by TT.

Landers92

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

Landers92

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

jimmyb

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….

Landers92

Vikena again😂😂😂😂 fucking woeful

jimmyb

Glad three loose forwards can’t secure a ruck properly

Landers92

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.

Landers92

It’s a Vikena masterclass today

Bones

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

Yeah the whole thing is pretty underwhelming. Tough watch

Landers92

Go through the hands for fuck sake

Canes4life

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

Landers92

Vikena knocks it on diving to score 😂😂😂 absolutely useless

KiwiMurph

Vintage Vikena

Guy has never improved

Torian

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

jimmyb

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

Bones

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

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

Landers92

That is a monster 50/22 by JRK

Landers92

Aaaand we bomb it ffs

Canes4life

This is some seriously bad rugby.

KiwiMurph

Absolute chaos out there

jimmyb

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.

His Bobness

More balls being dropped than the Vienna Boys Choir

Landers92

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.

jimmyb

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

Bones

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

@Bones Explaining the joke ruins it

This is way worse than normal.

Landers92

@jimmyb Yup. I didn’t actually think we would win this but, I just didn’t think it would be in this fashion. There is a big drop off from 5th on the table to 6th on the table, that’s for sure.

I admire the positivity. But the team that lost to the Brumbies in the quarter final two years ago would beat this team comfortably

Im not postive at all right now, I just didn’t expect to win. It was embarrassing. Kick the ball away that much and you’ll never win.

Bring on 2027.

Hopefully JJ can extract the best out of those key figure guys returning next year, the Landers will need them to fire.

Bones

Safe to say Lowe's days on the wing should be numbered.

MiketheSnow

Just watching it now

Masterclass from Williams on how not to referee the breakdown for the first Drua try.

Excellent cover tackle, clear separation - well it must have been because there was no penalty awarded to Drua.

Drua holding on, should have been penalty to Highlanders. But no, keep it going lads Williams telepathically transmits to the players.

Absolute fucking joke.
