10-0 after 12 minutes. Tahs in after a pick n go.

Let’s hope the standard improves, because I’d say this doesn’t look anything about NPC level.

Drua handling errors taking all the pressure off.

If they can hold the ball, they’ll be fun to watch, but they just have strung enough phases together.

gt12

How is that a deliberate knock down?

Yikes, Drua line out, scrum, kickoffs,

heaps to work on.

Tim

Good tackle from the Drua player on Blue 5.

Yeetyaah

The hooker can't dummy lineout throw eh? Swear that's illegal. Might be wrong but I feel like I've seen turnovers or penalties after that before.

Bovidae

Berry and co are only refereeing one team. A clear slowing the ball down ignored and then an obvious baulk from the NSW hooker.

Drua hard done by on a few occasions,the touch judge has come in with a few shit calls against Drua.

@bovidae wasn't Berry in the UK like 5 or 6 days ago? Thought Oz had strict quarantine like NZ!

@bones Gardner is back too and refereeing tomorrow.

Cant put anything together making this many unforced errors , i sense the Drua discipline will empload if this continues ..
Dont know if they have put 3 phases together
Izaia Perese and Samu Kerevi together at 13 and 12 would be a handful

Yeetyaah

Fuck eh first game and we're complaining about the ref as neutrals. Berry is still so shit.

Yeetyaah

Silly stuff from Drua. Fair yellow.

Bones

Isn't that tackled without the ball on white 9?

That is a very soft card in isolation - was there a bit of niggle before in the game also?

Yeetyaah

@bones heaps of niggle. Drua are quick to get a bit aggressive after turnovers and penalties. Almost like it's a contact sport.

Bones

@yeetyaah send them to the netball courts with that agression.

Can you blame them? So many punchable faces in that Tahds side.
