Fair enough. I don’t think Petaia did much wrong though. A couple of times he raced into position on the counter and the ball didn’t come to the right spot. I can’t remember him being caught out of position or any glaring errors. I’m assuming if Vunivalu is out we are most likely to see Petaia...

That was a hard choice for me and I definitely thought we were better when he came on last night. It was hard to leave him out but Wright is such a smart player and co-captain and I personally can’t leave McReight out (although the irony/contradiction there is that ASY (Angus Scott-Young) was probably as good last...

I think most of us get that and, across the board, most of us want to see the Tahs take a big step forward this year. Edit: having said that I’d love more banter between teams, not less whatever the motivation/rationale.

I thought last night was average but I’m happy to reserve judgement until next week. Preparation has been disrupted and I don’t believe we ever had 1-15 on the park together, or even been relatively close to it for any length of time. I do think Hoopert probably won the number 1 jersey, Uru won...

At the ground I thought Wilson was one of our better forwards. I thought his involvements were good and made a couple of good clean outs where we would have otherwise lost the ball. Seemed to get through more or less his usual volume of work. Not an outstanding game but not bad either. Not too...

It was only a trial, but I found it hard to take too many positives out of that. Although most of the play was down the far end from me. I thought Spencer Jeans was pretty good, except for bombing the try. Reds didn’t really apply much pressure. They were too slow on the clean out in attack and...

What do you mean will be???

Players are working through their warm up again. Kick off announced for 8.50.

Lights are on

The crowd has been very relaxed about the whole thing.

They’ve just announced mains power is back on, so they are now disconnecting the generators and they are hoping to have lights restored in 10 minutes.

In all seriousness mate - how would you deal with this?

The local community are certainly loving it and I have to say that from where I sit the involvement of QRU & RA over this weekend has appeared to be top shelf

It’s rugby’s fault that Roma has lost power? It’s bloody unfortunate but surely taking the game to the bush is a great thing.

They’ve just announced they have generators hooked on and they are currently testing for safety. If they work they will kick off in about 15

Shit - lights gone again.

It’s a great carnival and it’s been a cracking day. The womens team I coach picked up some money as runners up in one of the Low division finals. Lights back on!!!! I know that is great for the game but I feel especially happy for the organiser. I know him personally and he works his arse off...

Power is out in Roma. Not just the field. ETA not certain. They’ve said they are looking at a 7.45 kick off but not sure what that is being based on Edit: Bar is still open though

17 minutes to kick off and the lights have just dropped out

Aubrey is surely a project for next year. Happy for him to get time in trials, and I thought he was good. But can’t see him as an option unless we have a number of injuries. I thought Flook was very impressive last week. A number of good touches. Keen to see how he goes tomorrow.
